## Summary

The Department for the Economy has completed the procurement process for the provision of insolvency services in Northern Ireland, with the contract awarded to Grant Thornton Advisors (NI) LLP and Baker Tilly Mooney Moore. The process was conducted via an open procedure under Northern Irish devolved regulations, with the final contract terms signed on 20 October 2025. The services, classified under business and management consultancy, financial management consultancy, accounting, and auditing, will be managed from Belfast, UK region. The contract is valued at £360,000, including VAT, and spans from October 2025 to October 2029.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, especially for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in consultancy services. Accounting, auditing, and financial management firms, particularly those with experience in insolvency cases, can benefit from engaging with similar public sector contracts. The regular monthly issuance of case batches by the Department signifies a sustainable demand and the potential for ongoing partnership, making it ideal for businesses that can offer expertise in managing and administering insolvency-related services.

## Notice

The Insolvency Service is a branch within the Department for the Economy. The Official Receiver (OR) is a Civil Servant in the Insolvency Service within the Department and is also an Officer of the Court in his roles of Trustee in Bankruptcy and Liquidator in companies that have been wound up by the Court. The Department for the Economy (the Buyer) is seeking to appoint two Suppliers for the provision of Insolvency Services to complete the administration of cases once the Official Receiver's statutory investigations have been completed. When the Department for Economy identifies a piece of work, it will be offered to the Supplier ranked first. The Supplier ranked second will be offered a commission in the event of; (a) a conflict of interest for Supplier ranked first (this must be confirmed by email) or (b) Supplier ranked first not having the capacity to deliver a project within the required timeframe.
