UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service is buying hand hygiene products for health and social care organisations and the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service. The requirement covers hand soap; hand sanitiser and hand moisturiser; antibacterial individually wrapped hand wipes for patients or clients; and miscellaneous soap and individual sanitising gel. Relevant dispensers are also included where they suit the products. This is a goods supply opportunity covering Northern Ireland, with participating public bodies including health and social care trusts, the ambulance service, fire and rescue service, public health bodies and related agencies. The procurement is suited to manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors of healthcare, hygiene and personal-care consumables able to supply the required product ranges and associated dispensers.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 20 August 2026 at 15:00, and the tender submission deadline was 27 August 2026 at 15:00. The planned award period ends on 2 November 2026 at 23:59. This is a closed framework with reopening of competition, operating from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with an option to extend by up to 24 months, to a maximum end date of 30 November 2030. The total estimated value is £3,298,711 excluding VAT, or £3,958,453 including VAT. Lot values excluding VAT are £1,217,569 for soap, £1,879,968 for sanitiser and moisturiser, £150,956 for wipes, and £50,217 for miscellaneous products. Four lots are available. Evaluation is based on mandatory quality and compliance with the specification and tender assessment methodology.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in hand hygiene and healthcare consumables, including manufacturers, national wholesalers and distributors serving public-sector or clinical environments. Bidders need to provide compliant hand soap, sanitiser, moisturiser, individually wrapped antibacterial patient or client wipes, miscellaneous soap and individual sanitising gel, with suitable dispensers where required. The requirement spans several product categories, so suppliers with a broad portfolio may be well placed to bid across multiple lots, while focused specialists can target an individual product range. Quality compliance is mandatory, making documented product conformity, dependable manufacturing or sourcing arrangements and the ability to evidence compliance with the specified requirements commercially important. Suppliers also need the distribution capacity to serve health and social care organisations and the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service across Northern Ireland through a framework arrangement.
