Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Water Limited is procuring the supply and delivery of hand tools, power tools and related consumables for its operations in Northern Ireland. The requirement covers items including hammers, saws, screwdrivers, ratchets, wrenches, spanners, oils, lubricants, batteries, cordless drills, cordless angle grinders, cordless impact drivers, cordless jigsaws, extension leads and replacement batteries. The procurement is for goods rather than installation, maintenance or construction services. It is intended to appoint two suppliers capable of providing this broad range of tools and ancillaries and delivering them to meet Northern Ireland Water’s requirements. The detailed specification defines the full range and service requirements, including any further items within these categories that the buyer needs during the contract.

The process has reached tender: Northern Ireland Water Limited invited offers through a selective Competitive Flexible Procedure under the utilities regime. Expressions of interest were due by 14 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. Tenders are submitted electronically through eTendersNI, in English. The buyer expected to complete evaluation and award by 30 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 25 January 2027 to 24 January 2029, with options to extend for a further two years plus two years, potentially until 24 January 2033. The estimated value is £1,660,000 excluding VAT, or £1,992,000 including VAT. One lot is evaluated on cost at 70% and quality at 30%.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and specialist industrial-tool suppliers with established capability across both hand tools and battery-powered equipment. Relevant suppliers should be able to provide a wide catalogue covering workshop tools, power tools, replacement batteries, extension leads, oils, greases and lubricants, and manage reliable delivery for a utility customer. The requirement favours businesses able to source and supply multiple product types rather than a single narrow tool line. Suppliers with strong product knowledge, dependable procurement and stock arrangements, and experience serving operational or infrastructure organisations are likely to be well placed. Two suppliers are intended to be appointed, creating potential scope for businesses that can offer a comprehensive range and competitive pricing.
