Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive initiated a procurement process for the supply and delivery of FFP3 masks, with a focus on protective gear under the medical equipment category. Operating under Northern Irish devolved regulations, the contracting authority issued a tender with an active stage dated 28 May 2025. The procurement, employing a competitive flexible procedure, was to be conducted under selective means, with an initial tender period ending on 23 June 2025. However, on 10 December 2025, a notice of tender cancellation was published, indicating the cancellation of any contract awards following a reassessment of the procurement strategy.

This tender presented an opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of medical equipment and protective gear to compete for a significant contract within the public health sector. Though now cancelled, firms, particularly SMEs that are agile and capable of adapting to procurement strategy changes, could have benefited from participating in such competitive openings. Companies with established supply chain capabilities and expertise in fulfilling governmental contracts would find such tenders particularly advantageous for expanding their business reach and securing long-term contracts with central and devolved governmental bodies in the UK.
