## Summary

Bòrd na Gàidhlig, based in Inverness, has initiated a tender process for the provision of a fully managed IT service. This opportunity is targeted towards the services industry with a contract value of £143,000. The procurement is being conducted through an open procedure, and businesses interested in this contract must submit their electronic tenders by 10th August 2026 at noon. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2026 following a handover period from the existing service provider. The tender process is currently at the stage of receiving submissions, with bid openings occurring on the same closing day. This tender supports electronic submissions and requires the service to be delivered in the UK region of UKM, specifically in Inverness.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in information and communication technology services to expand their operations by partnering with a central purchasing body. The requirement for a comprehensive IT service suggests that businesses with experience in managed IT services, particularly those capable of full-service delivery following a detailed handover period, would be well-positioned to compete. The involvement provides a stable contractual partnership with the buyer, along with the potential for extension periods. Companies that offer robust IT networks, support, and maintenance with a proven track record in public sector engagement will find this tender particularly beneficial for business growth.
