## Summary

The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission, located in Belfast, has successfully completed a public procurement process for the provision of licensing, maintenance, and support services for the SUN Accounting software package and INFOR Query & Analysis software. This contract, which spans from 29th May 2026 to 31st March 2028, was awarded to CORE Financial Systems Limited. The procurement, categorized under services for financial systems and software support, was conducted via a direct method without competition, aligning with an under-threshold procurement approach. The main base for service deliverables is the UK region of Northern Ireland, with a contract value of £103,954.54 gross.

This contract creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in financial software systems and support services, particularly those familiar with the SUN Accounting and INFOR Query & Analysis tools. Firms that can offer reliable maintenance and support, including a helpdesk during office hours, will find this contract beneficial for long-term professional exposure and brand reinforcement. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in software support for public authorities are well-positioned to cater to such requirements, gaining a foothold in government contracts by demonstrating expertise in handling key financial and analysis software.

## Notice
