Funding and procurement

The PHA funds and commissions services and initiatives that support improvements in health and wellbeing and help address health inequalities in Northern Ireland.

Opportunities may be available to a range of organisations, including community, voluntary and private sector providers, provided they meet the requirements set out for the individual opportunity.

Access funding and procurement opportunities

The PHA no longer advertises funding opportunities in regional or local newspapers.

All funding opportunities, procurement opportunities and grant funding awards are published on the PHA website.

Applying for funding

Application documents for funding opportunities can be downloaded directly from the PHA website.

Applying for procurement opportunities

All procurement opportunities are managed through eTendersNI.

Register and access procurement opportunities:
https://eTendersNI.gov.uk

If you are new to eTendersNI, we recommend registering as early as possible and reviewing the supplier guidance available on the portal.

Staying informed

When registering on eTendersNI, you can select Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes that match the services your organisation provides. You will then receive email alerts when relevant opportunities are published.

We recommend selecting a broad range of CPV codes initially and refining your preferences later. You should also check eTendersNI regularly for new opportunities.
