The total estimated value of the procurement is £863,200, which was corrected from a previous administrative error. The procurement follows an open procedure and is currently in the tender update stage, with the latest notice dated 14 April 2026. The procuring entity aims to facilitate collaboration among the colleges of Northern Ireland, ensuring the supply and delivery of plumbing equipment under a framework that allows tenderers to bid on multiple lots without restriction. Each college will establish individual contracts with successful suppliers, creating ongoing business relationships within the region. Various colleges across Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Antrim, and Omagh, are involved, focusing on the goods category with CPV classification for plumbing equipment. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the plumbing supply industry, particularly those with capabilities to manage multi-location deliveries and substantial supply volumes. Suppliers can increase their market presence and build long-term connections with educational institutions across Northern Ireland by securing one or more of the available lots. Ideal contenders would be those offering competitive pricing, efficient delivery logistics, and reliable contract management, considering the evaluation criteria heavily weigh on cost (90%) alongside quality management (10%). The opportunity to tender for multiple lots allows for scalability and maximising value, while also offering room to innovate in service delivery processes. SMEs with the requisite capabilities can also partake since there are no limitations on lot bidding, allowing them to compete alongside larger entities for contracts lasting up to three years post-extension. ## Notice Southern Regional College (SRC) on behalf of the six Regional Colleges in Northern Ireland ("NI Colleges") wishes to appoint Supplier(s) for the Provision of Supply and Delivery of Plumbing Supplies.
