UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation’s Procurement and Logistics Service bought white goods and domestic appliances for use across participating health and social care organisations in Northern Ireland. The requirement covers supply and delivery of electrical and non-electrical domestic appliances, including refrigerators, freezers, fridge-freezers, ovens, microwaves, toasters, dishwashers and washer-dryers. The participating organisations include Belfast, Northern, South Eastern, Southern and Western Health and Social Care Trusts, as well as the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service and other health, social care and public-sector bodies. Delivery is therefore across participating sites in Northern Ireland, with the procurement managed by the Regional Business Services Organisation in Belfast. This is a goods procurement focused on supplying appliances rather than installation, maintenance or construction services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an above-threshold open procedure under the utilities regime, using a closed framework agreement with call-offs either with or without reopening competition. There was one lot. The award was made on 20 May 2026 and the contract was signed on 26 June 2026, running from 2 July 2026 to 1 July 2030. The awarded contract value is £1,383,509 net or £1,660,211 gross, in GBP. The contract was awarded to Lunneys Electrical, Moores Electrics, Stephens Catering Equipment, Dalzells of Markethill, Eastower NI trading as Gordons Electrical Supplies, and Red Orange International; duplicate legal-entity records are also listed for some suppliers. Seven bids were received, including six from SMEs. Evaluation required mandatory compliance with the specification, a 10% scored sustainability assessment and price weighted at 90%. Additional purchases and an expanded product range are permitted during the contract.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for a broad range of domestic appliances across Northern Ireland’s health and social care estate. The successful supplier group demonstrates that SMEs and regional electrical, catering-equipment and appliance businesses can compete, alongside a London-based specialist supplier. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to refrigerators, freezers, cooking appliances, dishwashers, washer-dryers and related domestic equipment, together with the logistics capability to supply and deliver across multiple participating Trusts and public bodies. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate full compliance with a detailed product specification and compete strongly on price, while also addressing scored sustainability requirements. The framework structure favours businesses able to support repeat call-offs, variable demand and possible product-range expansion, rather than suppliers offering only a narrow local retail service.
