## Summary

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service has initiated a procurement process focusing on "Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation, Associated Consumables and Ancillary Services." This procurement falls within the health sector under the category of medical equipment and services, primarily targeting Northern Ireland. Currently, in the planning stage, this initiative involves a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to gather information before formally tendering in late 2025 or early 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in this engagement process, with submissions due by 17th October 2025. The aim is to prepare the market for the supply of necessary medical devices and management of services over a contract period extending from October 2026 to September 2029.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical devices and healthcare services to collaborate with Health and Social Care NI. By engaging in the preliminary stages, companies can better understand the requirements and align their offerings accordingly, increasing their chances of winning the tender. Businesses with capabilities in supplying medical equipment, managing service installations, maintenance, and providing comprehensive customer support will find this an ideal opportunity to bolster their portfolio and expand their presence in the healthcare procurement sector.
