## Summary

The contracting process for the maintenance and support of the Legis system/database was awarded to ELITE TRAINING (NI) LIMITED by the Business Services Organisation ITS. Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on software packages and consultancy services. The contract, valued at £25,670.97 gross, began on 1st April 2026 and will end on 31st March 2027. This direct award procurement method was chosen due to the unique requirement for specific technical expertise, as the Legis system is built on outdated software technology from 1995.

This opportunity offers significant business growth potential for companies proficient in legacy software maintenance, particularly those familiar with obsolete programming languages. SMEs with a focus on software support and services, especially in the public sector, stand to gain significantly by engaging in such contracts. The direct award process underscores niche opportunities where specialised knowledge can set companies apart, making them vital service providers for government or public organisations needing customised software support.
