Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Labels Printer Bespoke" is being conducted by the Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service on behalf of several health and social care trusts in Northern Ireland. This process falls under the goods category with a focus on "Ink ribbons" and related items. It involves a contract valued at £2,571,879.37 GBP, executed using an open procedure, which is part of a framework agreement. Initially opened on 21st November 2024, the tender involved evaluating bids until the end of December 2024, with the award period starting soon after, on the 23rd of December. Located primarily in the UK region of Northern Ireland, this contract is already awarded to two suppliers, A1 SOLUTIONS NI LIMITED and ZEUS PACKAGING NI LIMITED, indicating its completion stage as of the date signed, 29th May 2025.

This tender offers substantial potential for growth, particularly for companies specialising in the provision of printer consumables and related products. Businesses adept at fulfilling large-scale supply obligations to public health sectors, especially those capable of rapid adaptability to changing demands due to digitisation, such as the ongoing encompass initiative in Northern Ireland, are particularly well-suited. SMEs have proven competitive in this process under open competition terms, suggesting the attractiveness of the contract for well-established small to medium enterprises aiming to solidify their presence in the public sector market. Success here could facilitate longer engagements, given the contract's renewable nature and allowance for extensions.
