UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire - IV Cannulae". This process is specifically focused on gathering market insights related to the supply and delivery of IV cannulae. The organisation operates out of Belfast, UK, and aims to engage with potential suppliers from the industry category of miscellaneous medical devices and products. Suppliers interested in participating are encouraged to complete a questionnaire, accessible via the eTendersNI platform, with a submission deadline of 3pm on 17th October 2025. This preliminary engagement is intended for information gathering and suppliers should note that participation is not a commitment to future tender opportunities.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the medical supplies and equipment sector, particularly those specialising in cannulae or similar medical devices. Companies looking to expand their foothold in the healthcare supplies market will find this engagement beneficial for building relationships and understanding future procurement needs. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions, competitive pricing, and reliable delivery options are well-suited to compete and potentially collaborate with the Business Services Organisation, contributing to NHS trusts' needs across the UK.
