## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust is conducting a procurement process to engage suppliers for the "Maintenance of Fire Fighting Equipment, Hydrants, Wet/Dry Risers, Sprinkler Systems, Fire Risk Assessments and Specialist Labour" project. This procurement falls under the services industry category and is currently in the planning stage, with a pre-market engagement deadline set for 1 July 2026. The procurement process involves several health trusts across Northern Ireland, each acting as a buyer, under the Northern Irish devolved regulations. Key locations include Belfast, Antrim, Portadown, Londonderry, and Lisburn. The project seeks to ensure fire safety equipment is maintained to applicable standards, and responses are to be submitted via eTendersNI by 3 July 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in fire safety equipment maintenance and related services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors are particularly well-suited to compete, given the project's emphasis on industry-specific expertise and capabilities. The procurement method aims for comprehensive engagement with the market, providing businesses with an avenue to showcase their solutions and capacity for maintaining critical safety infrastructure. The upcoming service contract, expected to commence in February 2027, presents a long-term business growth opportunity with potential renewals extending up to 2035.
