## Summary

SONI Ltd, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is looking to procure IT Systems Implementation & Managed Services as part of a requirement by the Utility Regulator. The contracting process is at the tender stage for the project identified as SONI087. The goal is to develop a shared Corporate IT working framework with EirGrid to achieve full IT separation in the future. This includes systems implementation, IT service management, service desk support, device management, and more, with work taking place at SONI’s offices in Northern Ireland and remotely as needed. The procurement follows a selective method with a competitive flexible procedure and a deadline for expressions of interest set for 14 August 2026 at 12:00 BST, with an enquiry period closing on 31 July 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support, particularly those with experience in managing large-scale IT transitions. Given the size and complexity of the contract, it is well-suited for firms that can demonstrate substantial capacity and previous experience with similar projects. The value of the contract is estimated at GBP 3,600,000, with a gross potential value of GBP 4,320,000, aligning well with SMEs that can deliver high-quality IT service management and support. Businesses participating in this tender can leverage the ability to contribute to a pivotal project that supports SONI’s strategic IT goals, providing a platform for potential growth and long-term partnerships.

## Notice

SONI is required by the Utility Regulator, as a result of the recently introduced TSO licence condition 42, to work with EirGrid in establishing a shared Corporate IT working framework, with a view to full IT separation in the future. The transition necessitates the implementation, management and support of a range of business-critical technologies to enable SONI to operate as a standalone organisation while maintaining secure, reliable, and efficient IT Services. SONI now wishes to appoint suitably qualified and experienced service providers to support the implementation, operation and management of these IT services and systems, including systems implementation, IT service management (ITSM) processes, service desk, and on-site support, laptop rollout and device management, and virtual desktop services. The scope of services may be required across SONI's operational and corporate environments and shall be carried out at SONI's offices in Northern Ireland and, where appropriate, through remote delivery arrangements.
