UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement is for the manufacture and supply of name badges for Health and Social Care Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service. The goods include identification badges, textile badges and textile labels and badges (CPV 35123400, 39561132 and 39561130). The requirement is being managed by the Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service for participating Northern Ireland health and social care bodies and the fire and rescue service. The named buyer is Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. The products will support staff and service operations across Northern Ireland, serving organisations including the Belfast, Northern, South Eastern, Southern and Western Health and Social Care Trusts, the ambulance service, fire and rescue service and other listed health and social care bodies.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 23 September 2026 at 15:00, and tenders were due by 30 September 2026 at 15:00. The intended award decision date was 30 October 2026. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an option to extend for up to 36 months, giving a maximum end date of 30 November 2032. The estimated value is £419,078.10 excluding VAT and £502,893.72 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation requires a pass/fail mandatory quality standard, followed by price weighted at 100%, as set out in the tender documentation. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits suppliers that manufacture or distribute staff identification badges, particularly businesses experienced in producing textile badges and textile labels to an agreed mandatory quality standard. It is relevant to firms able to supply a range of badge products for multiple health, social care and emergency-service organisations, while adapting the product range to changing service-user requirements. The scale and multi-organisation customer base may suit an established badge manufacturer, distributor or capable specialist working with suitable production and fulfilment partners. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their products pass the buyer’s mandatory quality assessment and price their offer competitively, since price determines the award once the quality requirement has been passed.
