Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is currently at the tender stage for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) within the Lisburn and Castlereagh area. The contract is divided into two lots, with a total estimated value of £609,600. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing broad participation and ensuring transparency. The deadline for bid submission is 29th June 2026, and the tender process is tailored for the delivery of goods, specifically protective and safety clothing under the CPV classification 35113400. The contract is set to start on 1st August 2026, with a potential extension for up to five additional years, depending on performance and requirements.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing or distribution of PPE, providing them with a platform to expand their clientele and solidify their market presence within Northern Ireland. The focus on quality in the award criteria, weighted at 25%, alongside cost considerations, signifies a valuable opportunity for suppliers with superior quality offerings to distinguish themselves. Smaller enterprises or consortia with competitive pricing and proven track records in delivering protective equipment would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the contractual emphasis on cost-effectiveness. This tender offers the chance to establish or enhance relationships with a sub-central government authority, presenting further prospects for business growth and collaboration in future procurements.
