This procurement process, intended for the public authority under Northern Irish devolved regulations, is in the planning stage as of 8th June 2026. Prospective suppliers are invited to submit responses to a questionnaire by 15:00 on 23rd June 2026 via the eTendersNI secure messaging platform. The project is expected to encompass various service categories, including road transport services, office-support services, records management, and survey services, with the contract planned to commence on 1st October 2026 in Armagh, United Kingdom. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in pharmaceutical surveys, logistics, records management, and office support. Engaging with this process could aid companies in expanding their portfolio and establishing long-term contracts with public sector bodies. SMEs with expertise in survey services, particularly within the healthcare sector, may find this engagement particularly advantageous, providing insights into potential market needs through early involvement via the questionnaire process. This engagement does not constitute an obligation to later participate in a tender, thus offering a risk-free opportunity to gain market insights and assess potential involvement in future procurement exercises. ## Notice This is a Pre Market Engagement Notice to inform and seek engagement with potential suppliers for Pharmaceutical Margin Suvey for Business Services Organisation (BSO) and Strategic Planning and Performance Group (SPPG) .
