UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics is assessing the market for the supply and delivery of patient diagnostic and monitoring electrodes on behalf of Health and Social Care Northern Ireland Trusts. This is a medical equipment and healthcare consumables requirement, specifically covering electrodes used with patient diagnostic and monitoring equipment. The buyer is based in Belfast, and the intended supply and delivery will support HSCNI Trusts across Northern Ireland. Suppliers whose business includes manufacturing, distributing or supplying patient monitoring electrodes should find the subject matter relevant. The requirement is for goods rather than services or construction work, and is focused on a defined product area within medical equipment and associated healthcare products.

The procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, rather than an invitation to tender. The buyer is seeking suppliers’ views through a questionnaire to help understand potential future requirements. Interested suppliers are expected to submit their completed questionnaire through the eTendersNI secure messaging area for Call for Tender reference 6685409 by 3pm on 21 September 2026. The buyer currently anticipates a contract running from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2029. The planned procurement is arranged as one lot. Taking part in the engagement will not commit the buyer to holding a future tender, and showing interest does not commit a supplier to participate in any later competition.

This engagement is suited to suppliers already active in patient diagnostic and monitoring electrodes, including manufacturers, specialist medical-device distributors and healthcare consumables suppliers with suitable supply and delivery arrangements. Businesses can use the questionnaire stage to explain the products they can provide, their supply-chain capability and how they could support the requirements of HSCNI Trusts. It is particularly relevant to firms with a range of electrodes for clinical diagnostic or patient-monitoring applications and the operational capacity to deliver to healthcare organisations. The buyer is using the exercise to gather a market view before developing any future tender, so participation gives relevant suppliers an opportunity to help inform the eventual requirement and prepare for a possible later procurement.
