## Summary

The public procurement process is being led by the Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Services, a central government public authority located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This particular process involves a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) for Consumables for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) Machines, targeted at the healthcare industry category. The procurement is in the planning stage, with a focus on gathering information to formulate a future framework. Key activities include completing a market engagement questionnaire, and all submissions are due by 25th August 2026 through the eTendersNI platform. The procurement process is expected to culminate in a framework agreement supporting health and social care needs beginning in June 2027.

The forthcoming tender offers various opportunities for businesses involved in medical equipment and consumables, particularly those specialising in respiratory therapy devices and accessories. Companies that can provide a broad range of clinically appropriate CPAP and ASV consumables will find this procurement especially relevant. The exercise aims to encourage supplier interest and uncover potential barriers to participation. By engaging now, suppliers could position themselves advantageously in the upcoming competitive tender process, expected to cater to legacy equipment and offer a wide array of brands to support patient treatment for sleep-related breathing disorders across Northern Ireland.

## Notice

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise is to inform the market of our proposed procurement for the provision of Consumables for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) Machines across Northern Ireland. CPAP and ASV therapies are used by Health and Social Care (HSC) Trust Sleep Services to support patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and other sleep-related breathing disorders. The service includes patient assessment, diagnosis, provision of therapy equipment and the ongoing supply of consumables required to support effective treatment. It is envisaged that the future procurement will establish a framework arrangement for the supply of CPAP and ASV consumables on behalf of HSCNI. The framework will support the continued availability of a broad range of consumables and brands, enabling clinicians to select the most clinically appropriate products and cater for legacy equipment. This will include but not be restricted to: 1) Supply of CPAP and ASV Masks 2) Supply of Associated Consumables and Accessories We hope that the Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) will help encourage supplier interest in this tender. It will also help us understand any barriers to tendering that suppliers currently face so these can be considered when drafting the HSC tender
