## Summary

Translink is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a new Insurance Claims Management System. This Pre-Market Engagement (PME) exercise invites input from relevant suppliers in the IT services sector, focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The goal is to inform a future tender for the development of the system, with procurement taking place under Northern Irish devolved regulations. Located in Belfast, the procurement exercise has the milestone deadline for registration of interest set for 12:00 on 17th August 2026. This initiative aims to replace the current system starting in January 2028, with the contract period ending in December 2031.

This opportunity is ideal for IT service providers specialising in consulting and software solutions. Businesses focusing on delivering innovative insurance claim management systems stand to benefit by aligning with Translink's requirements in the initial planning phases. By participating in this PME, suppliers can shape potential tender specifications, creating avenues for future business growth and collaboration with a prominent public service entity like Translink. Engaging with this procurement process early could position businesses favourably when tender proceedings begin.
