Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS), through the Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service, is undertaking a procurement process for the supply of uniforms and undress uniforms. This open procedure encompasses multiple lots, specifically targeting the clothing, footwear, luggage articles, and accessories industry within the UKN region. The award stage of this contracting process is current, with contracts signed on 13 February 2025. The estimated contract value for uniforms is £1,830,000, spanning four years with provisions for extensions of up to 36 months and an additional 18 months in case of emergencies. Similarly, the undress uniforms contract, valued at £2,910,000, adheres to the same duration and extension terms. Businesses interested in this tender must have a strong understanding of the required quality and cost evaluation criteria and the willingness to comply with the specified procurement terms.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in uniforms and related apparel to engage with a high-profile client such as the NIFRS. Participation could enhance business growth by securing a substantial contract valued at £4,740,000 across both lots. This is particularly advantageous for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) due to the emphasis on quality and price compliance. Companies with expertise in producing durable and high-quality uniforms, including undress options, and those with the flexibility to accommodate potential increases in demand, are well-suited to compete in this procurement. The opportunity to extend contracts further underscores the long-term potential for consistent revenue and collaboration with a central purchasing body, fostering robust business relationships within the public sector.
