## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Northern Ireland Water concerns the Replacement and Maintenance of NI Water site electronic access systems. This endeavour falls under the surveillance and security systems category, encompassing goods such as security equipment and alarm systems. As part of the planning stage, potential suppliers are invited to express interest in a Request for Information (RFI) with a due date of 14th October 2025. The process includes market engagement activities, with anticipated supplier meetings on the 5th and 6th November 2025. Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland Water operates within the framework of Northern Irish devolved regulations, presenting an opportunity to cater to a regional public authority in the utilities sector.
