## Summary

The Regional Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service (BSO PaLS), acting as the buyer, has initiated a Preliminary Market Engagement for uniforms for Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI). This process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on clothing and related accessories. Interested suppliers need to participate in a preliminary market engagement exercise by answering a questionnaire, with the deadline for submission set for 15:00 on Friday, 14 August 2026. The engagement aims to gather insights and gauge market capability, and all communications are handled through the eTendersNI secure messaging system.

This engagement presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in clothing, footwear, and accessories, particularly those with experience in supplying uniforms. Companies interested in expanding their client base within the healthcare sector can benefit from this preliminary engagement by showcasing their capabilities and understanding potential requirements. The active involvement could lead to future tender opportunities in Northern Ireland, as the procurement aligns with public authority regulations and offers potential for subsequent collaborations beyond the initial contract period set to commence on 1 October 2027.
