Corporate Uniforms, Personal Protective Equipment and Associated Requirements
Notice Description
The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission are at the outset of preparing for a robust, credible and transparent preliminary market engagement exercise to develop a deliverable and affordable option for the supply of corporate uniforms, personal protective equipment and associated requirements in order to achieve a successful contract award by 12 August 2025. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement (PME) is to gather insights and feedback from the market to inform the development of the procurement strategy and specification for corporate uniforms, personal protective equipment and associated requirements, as well as assist the Assembly Commission to ensure that the most efficient and effective methods of procurement are considered. The first phase of the market engagement exercise will be participation from the supply base through the attached questionnaire. Responses to these questions will help the Assembly Commission gather comprehensive information about potential suppliers, assess their suitability and make informed decisions to develop our specification and procurement strategy before entering the market with a full procurement competition. At this stage, any information gathered through this engagement exercise will solely inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process; and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise.
