NIESS - 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 notify the market regarding the NIESS Go Succeed opportunity which is planned to go out to tender in Autumn 2026 (subject to change).

The Council plans to conduct Pre Market Engagement activities in August/ September 2026. This engagement may involve questionnaires, 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 31st July 2026
