What is being bought

Invest Northern Ireland is currently preparing to initiate a competitive tendering procedure to establish a Framework of suppliers to deliver Energy and Resource Efficiency Technical Consultancy assignments to Northern Ireland businesses. Prior to initiating the competitive tendering process Invest NI wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process and to obtain some feedback on some changes under consideration prior to issuing the tender as well as potential costs and best practices. The potential scale and scope of this service is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders. This exercise is being used to determine the potential for any possible future contracts and their estimated value. This market sounding does not guarantee the commencement of a commercial competition resulting in monetary income or future outlay. **PLEASE NOTE: ALL COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA THE MESSAGING FUNCTION on eTendersNI, BEFORE 15:00 on the 20th August 2026. The PME questionnaire and associated documents are available with unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: URL https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps The Pan Government Collaborative Framework Agreement is being let by Construction and Procurement Delivery on behalf of the NI public sector organisations identified within the Preliminary Market Engagement documentation / engagement process description field below.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Solar energy (09330000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 095873 median · 29.2 average (140 of 587 with a bid count)4.2 average (164 of 587 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
