## Summary

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "ID 6101124 - PSNI - Managed Uniform Service - Preliminary Market Engagement". This initiative focuses on establishing a managed uniform service and falls under the goods category with additional services, specifically targeting the clothing, footwear, and accessories industry. The procurement is overseen by the CPD - Suppliers & Services Division, serving as a central procurement entity for Northern Ireland’s government. A supplier information day is scheduled for 24 October 2025, and suppliers interested in participating must complete a questionnaire via eTendersNI by 4 November 2025. Although the preliminary market engagement process was recently cancelled, efforts are ongoing to issue revised documents and a new supplier information session date at a later stage.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of uniforms and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as the tender is structured to accommodate their participation. For businesses in the textile and uniform services industry, this contract could offer significant revenue opportunities with a projected gross value of £10.8 million over a potential 10-year period, including renewal options. The comprehensive provision sought by PSNI makes it an attractive prospect for businesses looking to secure long-term contracts with a public sector client.
