Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply, delivery, and installation of office furniture across various locations in Northern Ireland. The initial project involves outfitting a new building in Craigavon, with an estimated contract value of £485,000 (excluding VAT). The framework's estimated total value, excluding VAT, is up to £735,000 over five years. The tender is in the planning stage, with key deadlines approaching: the expression of interest deadline is 22nd December 2025, and the enquiry period ends on 15th December 2025. The framework agreement will run initially for three years, with an option for a two-year extension, under the Competitive Flexible Procedure. Businesses should note the procurement method employed is selective, requiring a competitive response under the accelerated negotiation process tailored for utilities. The main industry category is office furniture, catering to an evolving demand influenced by NIE Networks' operational needs.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in office furniture supply and installation, especially those with experience in large-scale, professional fit-outs. Suitable businesses would be those capable of managing both the logistics of delivery and the intricacies of installation, along with offering value-added services and guidance. Participating businesses have the potential to secure a foothold in the utilities sector through engagement with NIE Networks. With a structured framework, up to four suppliers may be selected, and businesses must meet both economic and technical criteria specified in the tender documents. This tender not only promises immediate business but also long-term opportunities, as it involves engaging with a reputable buyer such as Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited. This engagement could help businesses expand their portfolio and enhance their market reputation within the UK.
