DfE - Careers Portal Project - PRE MARKET ENGAGEMENT
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
Department for the Economy publishes IT Services work continuously — 9 notices, roughly one every 61 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
54% of Department for the Economy’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The Department for the Economy (DfE) is preparing to initiate a procurement process to establish a contract with a supplier, or suppliers, to build an online, standalone, Careers Portal aiming to become the single starting point for all those requiring careers information in NI.
The potential scale and scope of this service is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders.
Prior to initiating the procurement, DfE wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process.
The questionnaire must be completed and submitted via eTendersNI by the engagement deadline date and time detailed above.
Details of additional participating bodies can be found detailed within the questionnaire document.
