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.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Department of Finance's contract awards have been in business services, construction work and IT services.
