Summary of the contracting process

Forensic Science Northern Ireland (FSNI), an Executive Agency within the Department of Justice, has concluded its tendering process for the supply and delivery of laboratory consumables, classified under "Laboratory, optical and precision equipment". This procurement, initiated through an open procedure, involved splitting the requirements into seven lots, each covering specific categories such as labware, chemicals, and crime scene materials. The contract's estimated value is £1.2 million, and the initial period of three years, with an optional extension of up to two more years, was anticipated to commence upon awarding. The awards were finalised and contracts signed on 9th September 2024, with the suppliers' names withheld for security reasons to protect them against potential threats in Northern Ireland.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses supplying specialised laboratory consumables. Companies that offer labware, gas-treated products, chemicals, lab cleaning materials, packaging, pipettes, and crime scene materials are particularly well-positioned to benefit. The structured contract, which includes regular performance monitoring, demands high standards and offers a reliable business opportunity across multiple categories, fostering long-term partnerships with FSNI. Suppliers capable of meeting these rigorous requirements, particularly SMEs and those experienced in dealing with forensic laboratories, stand to gain valuable contracts and expand their market presence.

This is to protect such contractors, whose security and safety could be threatened by dissident terrorist organisations still active in Northern Ireland if their details became known. This is consistent with Regulation 50(6)(a).. . The contract values listed are broad estimates only and include additional quantum for unforeseen demand and to future proof for additional potential. These values reflect the potential scale of the contract and take into account potential optional extension periods and the. uptake of potential optional services as detailed in the tender documents. There is no guarantee of any level of business under this contract. The estimates are not deemed to be conditions of contract nor a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than that stated.. . Contract Monitoring. The successful contractor's performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with the tender documentation. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance can result in the Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by. Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of three years from the date of issue..",
