## Summary

Northern Ireland Water is inviting tenders for a Leakage Management System (LMS) as part of their ongoing efforts to enhance water management services, under the procurement method titled "selective", employing a competitive flexible procedure. Headquartered in Belfast, the organisation requires a secure, configurable, browser-based SaaS application to aid in data management and reporting, integral to reducing water loss. This project falls within the public utilities and IT services industry category. Critical dates include the submission deadline on the 22nd of September 2026, with a procurement process that aims to finalise the award by the 10th of February 2027, and a full service commencement set for the 5th of November 2027. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a gross contract value of £12,000,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, software development, and Internet support, particularly those experienced in managing large-scale SaaS applications for utilities management. Companies capable of delivering high-quality, integrated solutions to complex data environments, while adhering to strict regulatory standards, stand to benefit from this engagement. The procurement's competitive nature, heavily weighted on quality (70%) versus price (30%), suggests that businesses with a strong track record in innovation and reliability could gain considerable market advantage. With optional contract extensions of up to 13 years, this offers further growth and partnership potential for the right Managed Service Provider.
