The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to inform a potential future procurement for a resilient secondary internet connectivity service to Parliament Buildings.
This engagement seeks to understand market capability, feasible delivery approaches, indicative costs, and potential constraints associated with delivering a secondary connectivity service within a Grade 1 listed building. The outcome will support the development of a proportionate specification, procurement strategy, and delivery model.
This is not a call for competition. Participation is voluntary and will not advantage or disadvantage any organisation in any future procurement process.
***This is not a tender exercise***
The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission (the Assembly Commission) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for Legislative and Corporate Print services.
Prior to initiating the procurement, the Assembly Commission wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process. Any information gathered through this market engagement exercise will inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market engagement exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire.
Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT documents. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function of eTendersNI in accordance with the instructions detailed in the PME Questionnaire document. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire.
**PLEASE NOTE: ALL COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA THE MESSAGING FUNCTION on eTendersNI, BEFORE 3PM ON FRIDAY 28th MARCH 2025**
The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission are at the outset of preparing for a robust, credible and transparent preliminary market engagement exercise to develop a deliverable and affordable option for the supply of corporate uniforms, personal protective equipment and associated requirements in order to achieve a successful contract award by 12 August 2025.
The purpose of this preliminary market engagement (PME) is to gather insights and feedback from the market to inform the development of the procurement strategy and specification for corporate uniforms, personal protective equipment and associated requirements, as well as assist the Assembly Commission to ensure that the most efficient and effective methods of procurement are considered.
The first phase of the market engagement exercise will be participation from the supply base through the attached questionnaire. Responses to these questions will help the Assembly Commission gather comprehensive information about potential suppliers, assess their suitability and make informed decisions to develop our specification and procurement strategy before entering the market with a full procurement competition. At this stage, any information gathered through this engagement exercise will solely inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process; and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise.
