PSNI Core IT Preliminary Market Engagement

The Preliminary Market Engagement for this requirement has now been concluded-the PME is now closed. A Preliminary Market Engagement notice, and questionnaire was previously published on 16 May 2025. There were 14 responses received from suppliers by the deadline of 30th May 2025, presenting their feedback. As stated in the questionnaire, due to the large volume of responses received, PSNI invoked the right to meet with a selection of respondents only. This approach was taken to ensure the most effective use of time and resources, and only those responses PSNI wished to explore further were invited to participate in face-to-face meetings. A total of 6 supplier were invited to face-to-face meetings. All 14 suppliers were informed of the decision via eTendersNI on 9th June 2025. The face-to-face meetings were held individually in Belfast on 1st July 2025. Following this a document entitled 'ID 5885241 PME meeting - Questions raised by suppliers’ containing questions raised at the face-to-face meetings, along with the response provided, was uploaded to eTendersNI on 28 July 2025. This ensures that all interested suppliers, including those not invited to the meetings, have access to the same information which is free to view under the CfT ID 5885241 document section on eTendersNI. It is currently anticipated that the resulting tender competition will be published via eTendersNI in December 2025. It should be noted that the estimated value provided within this notice is indicative only, and will be finalised prior to any Tender Notice being published. Dates provided in relation to subsequent contract are very much estimated and will be refined following the outcome of the Preliminary Market Engagement and publication of the Tender Notice.
