UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Housing Executive is buying digital tablets and associated accessories for the ONSIDE Evolution project, which is led by Disability Action Northern Ireland in partnership with the Housing Executive, Supporting Communities and the Independent Living Movement Ireland. The equipment is intended for approximately 4,350 people with varying disabilities. The project aims to reduce social isolation, support improved mental and physical health, and help disabled people participate actively in their communities. This is a goods requirement for office and computing equipment and supplies, rather than software or furniture. Delivery and use are associated with the ONSIDE Evolution project in Northern Ireland, with the Housing Executive acting as the buyer.

The procurement has reached tender: the Housing Executive invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 1 September 2026 at 15:00, and tenders by 18 September 2026 at 15:00. Tenders must be submitted electronically through the eTendersNI portal, in English. The estimated award decision date is 16 November 2026. The estimated contract period is 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2027, with extensions of up to 24 months, potentially running to 29 November 2029. The estimated value is £1,740,000 excluding VAT, or £2,088,000 including VAT. There is one lot, evaluated solely on cost, weighted at 100%. Additional purchases may be made during the contract period.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can source, configure where required, supply and deliver digital tablets together with compatible accessories at significant volume. Businesses should be able to fulfil equipment requirements for approximately 4,350 people with varying disabilities and support distribution for a project focused on inclusion, social participation and wellbeing. Relevant strengths include reliable supply-chain management, stock availability, quality control, packaging, logistics and delivery coordination. The requirement is likely to suit tablet distributors, information and communications technology suppliers, specialist resellers, manufacturers, and delivery partners able to work together where appropriate. Suppliers should assess their ability to provide the specified equipment and accessories, meet the Housing Executive’s tender documentation requirements, and compete on price because cost is the sole evaluation basis.
