Opportunity brief
Closing date not statedNIESS - Go Succeed
The NIESS, known as Go Succeed, is the primary business support service in Northern Ireland. Launched in November 2023 and funded by the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund / Local Growth Fund, the Service is led by NI's 11 local Councils and aims to support business creation and growth across NI. By delivering a connected set of enterprise supports including masterclasses, business mentoring and grant funding, Go Succeed aims to enable individuals and businesses to access the relevant support services to meet their needs and the growth ambitions of their businesses thereby representing a continuum of support from pre-start, through start-up and the growth journey thereafter. This notice is to inform the market of the upcoming NIESS Go Succeed procurement opportunity, which is currently expected to be advertised in early 2027 (subject to change). Earlier this year, we issued a Prior Market Engagement (PME) notice inviting suppliers to register their interest. Whilst suppliers were able to register, no PME activities have yet taken place. Suppliers who have already registered their interest do not need to register again. Due to a revised procurement timetable, we are issuing this further notice to provide an additional opportunity for suppliers who did not register earlier in the summer to express their interest. Any suppliers wishing to register should do so by Friday 30th October 2026. Pre Market Engagement activities may involve questionnaires, strategies, meetings and public briefing events. The Council will determine which types of engagement will take place following the expression of interest stage. If interested in being involved in any pre-market engagement activities, please express your interest by emailing cps@belfastcity.gov.uk by Friday 30th Oct 2026
