Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service, located in Armagh, United Kingdom, involves a preliminary market engagement for Management of Violence and Aggression Training services for Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI). This opportunity falls within the services category, specifically focusing on education, training, health, and social work services. Currently in the planning stage, key deadlines include the submission of responses to a supplier questionnaire by 15:00 on Tuesday, 30 June 2026. The procurement process is necessary to gauge market interest and requirements ahead of a potential future tendering exercise.

This procurement process presents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in education and training services, especially those specialising in health and social work. Companies capable of delivering effective training programmes aimed at managing violence and aggression in the healthcare sector would particularly benefit. Engaging in this process allows businesses to influence future requirements and potentially secure long-term contracts, as the contract period is planned to commence in January 2027, with opportunities for renewal. Interested suppliers should engage via the eTendersNI platform to establish interest and position themselves strategically for future tendering opportunities.
