About the buyer
The Department of Finance is a Northern Ireland devolved department housing Construction and Procurement Delivery (CPD), the central purchasing body for departments, agencies and arm's length bodies. Every tender is advertised on eTendersNI, the portal introduced in April 2015 for Northern Ireland public bodies. Suppliers register on the portal with a free D-U-N-S number. Two CPD divisions buy separately, covering supplies and services, and construction works and services. A published pipeline lists planned procurements and preliminary market engagement opportunities. Both divisions are among six Centres of Procurement Expertise, alongside the Education Authority and the Housing Executive.
