## Summary

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service, acting on behalf of Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI), is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Training and Standards Management Platform. Located in Belfast, United Kingdom, this preliminary market engagement seeks to gather information from suppliers via a questionnaire to identify potential requirements. The tender belongs to the services category, specifically focusing on IT services, software development, and educational software. Important dates include a deadline for clarifications on 7th May 2026, and potential future notices expected by 14th May 2026, with the procurement process governed under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54.

This engagement provides an opportunity for businesses specialised in IT services, particularly those involved in software development and system management, to contribute to solutions that improve organisational training and standards management for healthcare services.
