Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process is managed by the Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS) based in Belfast, UK, and involves a tender for "Dishwashing Chemicals and Associated Items" under the industry category of Chemical Products (CPV code 39831210). The procurement method used is an open procedure, ensuring a fair competition for all eligible suppliers. The tender has been split into two lots: "Lot 1: Detergents and Rinse Agent" and "Lot 2: Manual Dishwashing Detergents." The estimated contract value for both lots ranges between £1,073,927.64 and £1,610,890.93 GBP. Key procurement phases include the tender end date on 19 February 2024, with a bid opening scheduled for the same day at 15:30 GMT. The procurement stage is active, and the contracting authority has accounted for potential future demand increases by up to 50 percent in its calculations.

This tender creates multiple opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers specialising in chemical and dishwashing products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger corporations alike will find suitable opportunities, as evidenced by the previous awards to Alliance Disposables Ireland Limited, Verida Limited, Bunzl McLaughlin, and Diversey Ltd. The contract's provisions for extensions and renewals, totalling up to 42 additional months, present long-term business prospects. Interested businesses should consider the quality and price criteria, with the expectation of adhering to the procurement and commercial conditions stipulated by PaLS. This could be a particularly lucrative opportunity for businesses with expertise in handling public sector contracts and supplying essential chemical products in the UK and Northern Ireland regions.
