This engagement is intended for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service and various Health and Social Care Trusts across Northern Ireland. The procurement is currently in the planning stage with a key milestone set for 19 December 2025, where potential suppliers need to submit their responses via the eTendersNI platform. The title of the process is "Preliminary Market Engagement for Occupational Health Medicine Service," highlighting the project's focus within the health services industry category. The contracting process is expected to commence on 1 June 2026 and potentially extend until 31 May 2032. The engagement serves to gather insights from the market, but it does not indicate a commitment to proceed with a full tender. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in health services, particularly those with expertise in occupational health and medical practice services. It represents a chance for companies to engage early in the procurement process, allowing them to tailor their services to meet the potential needs of major public sector clients. Small to medium-sized enterprises with innovative health solutions or established service providers looking to expand their footprint in the public sector could find this engagement particularly beneficial. Collaborative market engagement such as this can help businesses build relationships with key stakeholders and position themselves favorably for future tendering opportunities in the Northern Irish health sector. ## Notice This is a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice to inform and seek engagement with potential providers of an Occupational Health Medicine Service to Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS), Northern Health and Social Care Trust (NHSCT), South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT), Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT) and Business Service Organisation (BSO).
