## Summary

Translink, a public undertaking based in Belfast, United Kingdom, is in the planning stage of a preliminary market engagement aiming to procure Occupational Health Services. This process serves to gather insights from potential suppliers in the health services industry, specifically targeting sectors such as medical practice and related services. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register their interest by 12:00 on 14th August 2026. The pre-market engagement, which is not a formal call for tender, will inform the forthcoming procurement procedure, and responses must be submitted through the secure messaging area within the Call for Tender (CfT) documents portal. The market engagement is part of Translink's strategic planning, with a contract period expected to commence on 1st May 2027.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those adept in occupational health offerings. Given the procurement's monetary scope of up to £6,000,000 and the SME suitability, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stand to benefit substantially by engaging in this market exploration. Expansion into this sector with Translink could provide long-term business growth and collaboration potential within the Northern Irish market guided by devolved regulations. Businesses equipped to deliver comprehensive health services in line with the industry's rising standards will find this tender particularly well-suited to their expertise.
