## Summary

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is in the planning stage for an upcoming procurement process concerning the provision of Occupational Health Services. The buying organisation, a public authority within the sub-central government of Northern Ireland, is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise to gauge interest and gather information from potential suppliers. The council is located at Lagan Valley Island, Lisburn, United Kingdom. This preparation phase involves the completion of a pre-market engagement questionnaire, which must be sent via the Etenders Portal by 17th August 2026. Although no formal tender documents are required at this stage, the council's interest indicates a forthcoming tender for health services, classified under the CPV code 85100000, with a tentative contract period from December 2026 to December 2028.

This procurement exercise presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in occupational health services to position themselves for potential future contracts with the council. Firms with established capabilities in delivering health services, particularly those familiar with dynamic purchasing systems, would be well-suited to engage in this pre-market process. Although participation in this stage is not mandatory, it allows suppliers to express their interest and provide input that may shape the tender criteria. By engaging early, businesses can increase visibility with the council and better align their offerings with anticipated future procurement needs, making this a strategic moment for expansion and collaboration in Northern Ireland’s public health services sector.

## Notice

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a tender for the procurement of Occupational Health Services. LCCC wishes to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire. The questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT Documents section. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than the date and time specified on eTendersNI. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider from participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/ provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and there is no commitment, at this stage to carrying out such a process.
