## Summary

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service is planning to buy cleaning chemicals for washer-disinfectors and macerators used with human-waste containers on behalf of the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care trusts. The goods include cleaning products, detergents and rinsing solutions for this specialist equipment. The procurement is for supplies rather than equipment or servicing; its stated scope is the chemicals used in the machines. The buyer is based in Belfast, and the purchasing arrangement is intended for the Northern Ireland trusts. Suppliers of institutional or healthcare cleaning chemicals, particularly products suitable for washer-disinfection and maceration systems, are the most directly relevant.

This is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It is seeking preliminary engagement with the market to gather information about chemicals for human-waste container washer-disinfectors and macerators; the engagement is expected by 7 November 2026. The planned contract period is 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2029, with a possible extension to 30 April 2031. The estimated value is £428,301 excluding VAT and £513,961 including VAT. The process is presented as one lot. No procurement procedure, award method or evaluation criteria are set out at this planning stage, so these are not settled terms for suppliers to assess yet.

This procurement is most relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of cleaning chemicals for healthcare or institutional equipment. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their detergents and rinsing solutions are appropriate for washer-disinfectors and macerators handling human-waste containers, and that they can supply the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care trusts. The planned multi-year term indicates a requirement suited to businesses able to support ongoing supply rather than a one-off delivery. The buyer is engaging the market to gather information, so suppliers with relevant product knowledge can help inform the eventual specification through that engagement. No particular accreditation, technical standard, performance measure or supplier qualification is identified at this stage.
