This is a goods procurement for medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, with the identified requirement focused on intubating devices for use within Health and Social Care Northern Ireland. The procurement is organised as a single lot. Delivery and use will be within Northern Ireland’s health and social care services. The buying organisation is based in Belfast and is managing the requirement on behalf of the wider Health and Social Care Northern Ireland setting. Suppliers of intubation equipment and related medical devices should therefore consider whether their product range and supply arrangements are suitable for public-sector healthcare use across Northern Ireland. This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced its intention to hold a future competition, but this is not an invitation to tender. A preliminary market engagement is scheduled, with responses or engagement expected by 5 October 2026. The buyer expects the resulting contract to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029. The estimated value is £2,181,735.29 excluding VAT, or £2,618,082.34 including VAT. The requirement is divided into one lot. The published material describes engagement with potential service providers to inform the upcoming competition for goods. Suppliers should treat the dates as the buyer’s indicative timetable and use the engagement to understand the developing requirement before a future competition is launched. This procurement is likely to suit manufacturers, distributors and specialist healthcare suppliers able to provide intubating devices for Health and Social Care Northern Ireland. Businesses with established medical-device supply chains, dependable stock availability and the capacity to support a public healthcare customer across Northern Ireland should prepare to assess the future competition. Relevant suppliers may include organisations already serving hospitals, healthcare trusts or other clinical settings with airway-management equipment. The market engagement provides an opportunity to explain available products, supply models and service capability, and to help the buyer shape its requirement. Product specialists should review their intubation-device range and be ready to provide clear information on suitability for clinical use, distribution arrangements and organisational capacity when the procurement reaches the market. ## Notice This Preliminary Market Engagement is being published by Business Services Organisation (BSO) Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS) for the purposes of informing and engaging with potential service providers regarding the upcoming public competition for goods to be procured within Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI). ### Planning Information This Preliminary Market Engagement is being published by Business Services Organisation (BSO) Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS) for the purposes of informing and engaging with potential service providers regarding the upcoming public competition for goods to be procured within Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/083999-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2027 - 31 Jan 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,181,735 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service | | Locality | BELFAST | | Postcode area | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT12 6HU | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN06 Belfast | | Local authority | Belfast | | Electoral ward | Blackstaff | | Westminster constituency | Belfast South and Mid Down | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33000000 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ## Release History - 4 Sep 2026 at 15:19 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/083999-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/083999-2026 4th September 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
