## Summary

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service is preparing a purchase of wall-mounted glove and apron dispensers for the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care trusts. This is a goods procurement for equipment used to store and dispense gloves and aprons in healthcare settings. The buying organisation is based in Belfast, and the intended users are the NIHSC Trusts across Northern Ireland. Suppliers of medical, personal-care or laboratory equipment, and manufacturers or distributors of wall-mounted dispensing systems, are the most directly relevant. The stated scope centres on glove and apron dispensers; the procurement is described as a market-engagement exercise to gather information about these products before the trusts proceed with a tender.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer is seeking preliminary engagement with the market, and has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects this engagement to run until 5 November 2026. The anticipated contract period is 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2030, with an extension possibility to 30 April 2032. The estimated value is £110,000 excluding VAT (£132,000 including VAT). The procurement is arranged as one lot, covering the dispensers. This is an indicative forward procurement, not a bid deadline or an active competition. Suppliers can use the engagement phase to help inform the buyer’s understanding of the market before the tendering stage.

This planned purchase is most relevant to suppliers able to provide wall-mounted glove and apron dispensers for use across Northern Ireland’s health and social care trusts. Medical-equipment manufacturers, specialist dispenser suppliers and distributors serving healthcare customers should consider whether their products suit the intended setting and scope. The buyer is using market engagement to gather information, so suppliers with practical knowledge of dispenser options, product ranges and supply arrangements may be particularly well placed to contribute at this stage. The published description does not set out technical specifications, required accreditations, minimum capacity or experience thresholds, or evaluation criteria. Suppliers can therefore prepare by reviewing the intended product category and considering what relevant market information they can share, while recognising that any later tender may define requirements in greater detail.
