## Summary

The contracting process initiated by Tourism Northern Ireland, with assistance from the CPD - Supplies and Services Division, is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Tourism NI - Managed Professional Services - Economic and Commercial Appraisals, Post project and Event Evaluations - Market Engagement." This procurement process is aimed at establishing a contract for professional services that include economic and commercial appraisals, post-project evaluations, and major event assessments. The planned activities are set to commence on 1st September 2026, located in Belfast, UK, with the current market engagement phase requiring questionnaire submissions by 6th April 2026.
