The range covers alerting and additional alerting devices, assistive listening devices, Bluetooth hearing-aid accessories, tinnitus equipment, lighting, low-vision products, glare-protection glasses, hyperocular glasses, mobility equipment, clocks and watches, daily-living equipment, and glasses with artificial intelligence. This is a goods supply opportunity for equipment used to support people with sensory, hearing, vision, mobility and daily-living needs. Deliveries will support Health and Social Care Northern Ireland organisations across Belfast, Antrim, Portadown and Londonderry, with the framework managed through the Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics service. The procurement has reached tender: the buyers invited offers through an open procedure. It is a closed framework agreement allowing contracts both with and without reopening competition. There are 13 lots, each covering a distinct equipment area. The estimated total value is £2,510,994.49 excluding VAT, or £3,013,193 including VAT; individual lot values range from £50,219.88 to £627,748.54 excluding VAT. The enquiry deadline was 14 September 2026 at 23:59, and the tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 23:59. The framework contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, with award decisions due by 1 December 2026. Offers are submitted electronically through the eTenders portal. Price carries 90% of the evaluation, with sustainability quality scored at 10%, alongside mandatory specification and product-assessment pass/fail requirements. This opportunity suits manufacturers, specialist suppliers and distributors of sensory, assistive, rehabilitation and related healthcare equipment that can supply one or more of the 13 product areas. Suppliers may compete for focused lots, including low vision, assistive listening, alerting, mobility, lighting, tinnitus and daily-living equipment, rather than needing to cover the entire range. Strong candidates will have a reliable product portfolio, current technical datasheets and the operational capacity to fulfil deliveries for Health and Social Care organisations across Northern Ireland. The framework also offers a route for suppliers of newer products, such as artificial-intelligence glasses, where these meet the required specification. Businesses should be able to evidence product compliance and demonstrate sustainable product characteristics, as these form part of the tender assessment. ## Notice Business Services Organisation (BSO), Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS) is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply and delivery of Sensory Equipment to Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI). ### Lot Information Alerting Devices This Lot will include alerting devices.
