ID 6647666 Invest NI - Energy and Resource Efficiency - Technical Advisory Framework - PRE-MARKET ENGAGEMENT

Invest Northern Ireland · Local or regional public body

In brief

Invest Northern Ireland has announced plans to buy energy and heating and plumbing work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £1 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 October 2027.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
