UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service intends to procure occupational hygiene services for Trusts. The requirement sits within environmental services and environmental management, covering professional support to manage occupational health risks and workplace exposure in Trust settings. Delivery is intended across Northern Ireland, with the buying organisation based in Belfast. This is a services procurement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. Suppliers whose work focuses on occupational hygiene, workplace environmental monitoring, exposure assessment and related management services should find the subject matter relevant. The planned requirement appears aimed at supporting multiple Trusts rather than a single commercial site, so providers should consider whether they can operate across the intended Northern Ireland delivery area and work with public-sector healthcare organisations.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure and has not invited tenders. It is below the relevant threshold, with an estimated value of £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is from 2 February 2027 to 1 February 2032, with a possible extension to 1 February 2034 and renewal allowed. The buyer has scheduled pre-market engagement for 6 October 2026 to inform its approach to occupational hygiene services. Suppliers should treat that date as an engagement milestone rather than a tender deadline. The record does not set out a procurement method, submission route, lot structure beyond one planned requirement, or evaluation criteria at this stage.

This planned requirement is most relevant to established occupational hygiene providers that can deliver environmental and workplace risk services for Trusts across Northern Ireland. Businesses with experience of occupational hygiene programmes, exposure assessment, workplace monitoring, reporting and practical risk-management advice should prepare to explain how their services support public healthcare organisations. The intended five-year term, with potential further extension, may suit suppliers able to provide reliable continuity, maintain service quality over several years and support more than one Trust. Providers should use the planned market engagement to demonstrate relevant capability, public-sector or healthcare experience, operational coverage and the scale of team needed for a multi-Trust service. The engagement is an opportunity to shape the eventual requirement before it reaches the market.
