The event will be delivered through a hybrid format, providing suppliers with the option to attend either in-person or virtually. \nParticipation in this market engagement event is voluntary and will not be a condition of participation in, or otherwise affect a supplier's eligibility for, the subsequent procurement process. \nThe purpose of the event is to provide an update on the development of the proposed IF109 Integrated Partnerships Framework, including the emerging procurement strategy, commercial model, lotting structure, procurement process and indicative evaluation approach. The event will also provide suppliers with an opportunity to better understand NI Water's objectives for the future framework and upcoming procurement. \nInformation received through market engagement may be used by NI Water in developing the procurement process and documentation. Any confidential information supplied by participants should be clearly identified and accompanied by an explanation of the basis on which confidentiality is claimed. NI Water cannot guarantee confidentiality and may be required to disclose information in accordance with applicable information access legislation. Additional market engagement activities may be undertaken where considered appropriate; however, NI Water reserves the right to determine the nature, scope and timing of any such activities. \nSuppliers wishing to attend the Supplier Market Briefing Event should register their request by completing the online registration form available via the link provided at the end of this notice. \nThe registration form will be available from Wednesday 9th September 2026, and the deadline for registration is 12:00 noon on Tuesday 22nd September 2026. \nRegistration requests should include: \nOrganisation name \nContact name and email address \nPreferred attendance method (in-person or virtual) \nA brief description of the organisation's services and capabilities relevant to the delivery of Water and Wastewater Capital Works for NI Water \nAttendance will be limited to a maximum of one in-person representative per organisation. NI Water reserves the right to permit additional attendees where venue capacity allows. \nPlease note that in-person attendance is subject to venue capacity. Once maximum capacity has been reached, any additional registrants will be invited to attend virtually. All attendees, whether attending in person or virtually, will be provided with access to the same material information. \nFull joining instructions, including venue details and virtual access arrangements, will be provided directly to registered attendees following confirmation of registration. \nNI Water will take appropriate measures to ensure that participation in market engagement activities does not distort competition or result in any supplier obtaining an unfair advantage in any subsequent procurement process. This may include making relevant information and materials available to all potential suppliers and allowing appropriate time for suppliers to prepare their submissions.\nEmail: ep.procurementteam@niwater.com \nRegistration form: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=EP6LcBU9OEOk1swux-HcRUnXaUiFgIZHiey7P8sLy2pUMTE5QUk4RkdJWkNRRUo1TUVXUUlNUjRaVS4u" } ] }, "submissionMethodDetails": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/home" } ], "submissionTerms": { "electronicSubmissionPolicy": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "allowed" } ], "languages": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "en" ] } ] }, "expressionOfInterestDeadline": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2026-11-16T15:00:00Z" } ], "enquiryPeriod": { "endDate": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2026-11-10T16:00:00Z" } ] }, "awardPeriod": { "endDate": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2027-10-01T23:59:59+01:00" } ] }, "documents": [ { "id": "L-1", "documentType": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "biddingDocuments" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Suppliers must be registered on eTenders web portal to access tender documentation." } ], "url": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/home" } ] }, { "id": "future", "documentType": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "biddingDocuments" } ], "accessDetails": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/home" } ] } ], "communication": { "futureNoticeDate": [ { "releaseID": "085571-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-09-09T17:43:19+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2026-10-08T23:59:59+01:00" } ] } }, "language": [ { "releaseID": "073051-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-08-03T10:35:09+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "en" } ], "extensions": [ { "releaseID": "073051-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-08-03T10:35:09+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] } ] } } ] }
