Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service seeks to engage with potential suppliers via a Preliminary Market Engagement for Promotional Products and Stands for the Health and Social Care sector in Northern Ireland. Located in Armagh, the buying organisation is part of the central government and operates under Northern Irish devolved regulations. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on market engagement before proceeding to any formal tendering. Interested suppliers are invited to respond to a questionnaire by 15:00 on Wednesday, 21 January 2026. This initial engagement aims to gather market insights and does not obligate participation in future tenders.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in promotional products and related services. Particularly, firms experienced in printed materials, promotional services, and custom printed items may find this to be a well-suited opportunity. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is opened with specific suitability considerations for smaller businesses. Successful engagement and understanding of the market need could position suppliers favourably for contracts beginning from 1 May 2026, which potentially extends until 2030 with possible renewals. This engagement phase is an invaluable chance for suitable suppliers to influence and align future procurement decisions with their capabilities.
