Public sector bodies in Northern Ireland advertise their tender opportunities on the eTendersNI portal.
eTendersNI - the way to find tender opportunities for central government in Northern Ireland
The eTendersNI portal was introduced in April 2015 – changing the way NI government departments, agencies and arm’s length bodies advertise tender opportunities. Previously central government used the eSourcing NI portal for similar purposes.
A set of printable desk guides is also available to help you get started as an eTendersNI user.
Face-to-face training on eTendersNI
Throughout the year, business network organisations can request an eTendersNI workshop to be delivered for their members - contact procure.info@finance-ni.gov.uk with your requests.
How do I obtain a Dun & Bradstreet number, in order to register for eTendersNI?
To prevent duplicate registrations, all eTendersNI suppliers will require a Dun & Bradstreet number (D-U-N-S) to complete their eTendersNI registration. There is no charge for obtaining a D-U-N-S number, which is a unique nine digit code to identify a business.
Visit the Dun & Bradstreet website to find your D-U-N-S number; or alternatively if your organisation does not currently have a number, complete a form to obtain one.
