Description

This is a prior information notice to seek engagement with the market place to understand the market structure for a Office Products framework for Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland (HSC) and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS).

Total Quantity or Scope

To this end, BSO Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS) wish to engage with potential suppliers on behalf of HSC and NIFRS to obtain a market view of the potential requirements through the eTendersNI secure messaging area of the Call for Tender (CfT) 5006636. All correspondence in relation to this market engagement exercise will be communicated via the eTendersNI secure messaging area. Suppliers should refer to the Market Engagement Document and complete the Market Engagement Questionnaires spreadsheet (all tabs) located within CfT 5006636. Any comments must be sent no later than 15:00 hours 22 September 2023.
