Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for uniforms for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service is being managed by the Procurement and Logistics Service on behalf of the Business Services Organisation. The tender is in the planning stage, with the Procurement and Logistics Service engaging with potential suppliers to assess market requirements. Interested suppliers need to register via the eTendersNI platform by 15:00 on 21 March 2024. The procurement is classified under the CPV code 18000000, covering clothing, footwear, luggage articles, and accessories, and aims to provide various uniforms including station wear, corporate wear, personal training wear, footwear, undress uniforms, and rank markings, insignia, epaulettes, and sliders. The location for the delivery is specified as the UK region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of uniforms and related accessories. Suppliers with expertise in providing high-quality, durable clothing and accessories that meet specific safety and performance standards would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process involves multiple lots, which allows businesses to place bids on specific segments, thereby increasing their chances of participation and success. SME suppliers in particular stand to benefit from this engagement as the Procurement and Logistics Service is keen to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tenders (MEAT) based on a combination of compliance, quality, and lowest price/cost. This could be a lucrative contract for businesses aiming to expand their market presence in the public sector.
