What is being bought
Belfast City Council is undertaking a Pre‑Market Engagement (PME) exercise in advance of a planned procurement for the supply and delivery of workwear, branded uniforms, footwear, gloves, and personal protective equipment (PPE). The forthcoming contract is expected to cover a wide range of operational garments and safety items used across Council services, including Parks, Waste Collection, City Regeneration, Facilities Management, and other frontline operational teams. The Council intends to maintain the existing three‑lot structure covering: Lot 1 – Branded uniforms and workwear Lot 2 – Footwear and gloves Lot 3 – Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) As part of this PME, the Council is seeking information on market capacity, sustainable and ethical product options, supply‑chain resilience and any innovations or circular solutions that may inform the final specification. Belfast City Council invites Suppliers to participate in this PME by emailing cps@belfastcity.gov.uk to request a copy of the PME questionnaire. Completed questionnaires must be returned by the deadline stated in the document. This PME is for information‑gathering only.
