This process falls under the goods category and pertains to the provision of name badges for Health and Social Care for Northern Ireland (HSCNI) and the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS). Located in Armagh, Northern Ireland, the organisation is engaging with potential suppliers to gather market insights via a questionnaire, with responses due by 15:00 on Friday, 31st July 2026. This pre-market engagement notice is not a formal tender but seeks feedback to shape potential future procurement activities scheduled to start on the 1st of December 2026. This tender process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the production and supply of identification and textile badges. Companies experienced in servicing the public sector, especially those that can navigate Northern Irish devolved regulations, will find this engagement phase particularly beneficial. With a focus on understanding supplier capabilities, the organisation encourages participation from businesses eager to establish or strengthen their presence in supplying essential goods for central government and public safety services. The subsequent contract, expected to extend over several years, allows for long-term business growth and potential renewal options, making it conducive for suppliers aiming at sustained partnerships and steady revenue streams. ## Notice This is a Pre Market Engagement Notice to inform and seek engagement with potential suppliers for Name Badges for Health and Social Care for Northern Ireland (HSCNI) and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS).
