Apart from Central Procurement Directorate, there are seven Centres of Procurement Expertise in Northern Ireland. These are from within the Health, Education, Housing and Transport sectors and from Roads Service and NI Water (formerly Water Service). These organisations have procurement expertise in their respective areas of responsibility. Centres of Procurement Expertise are appointed and monitored by the Procurement Board.
The 7 Centres of Procurement Expertise are listed below complete with links to the tender opportunity areas of their respective websites. CPD is not responsible for the upkeep of these sites but if you discover that an individual link to one of these sites does not function properly, please get in touch with the Managing Editor.
Tender Opportunities for all Centres of Procurement Expertise will eventually be accessed via the eSourcing NI platform.
