NI Water is the sole supplier of water and wastewater services in Northern Ireland, supplying 800,000 properties with fresh, high quality water every day. We also remove 325 million litres of wastewater from properties across Northern Ireland each day. We are a multi-million pound enterprise, but we couldn’t function without the assistance of our suppliers.
In order to broaden the range of organisations from which it receives tender bids, we wish to remind business suppliers about a 'Supplier Day' on Thursday 29 March 2012. This event is aimed at current suppliers and also potential suppliers that do not currently provide goods or services to NI Water. Suppliers will be able to book a 20 minute slot with an NI Water procurement officer, who will guide them through the services required by the company, as a major investor in the local economy.
The event will be held at our Training Centre, 61 Milltown Rd, Antrim, BT41 4NW, and will commence at 9:30am.
Those interested in attending will be required to pre-register, which will include giving NI Water some background information on your company, what role it fulfils etc. Limited spaces are available, so it is advisable to book as soon as possible. Categories available for discussion are:
Ӣ Chemicals
Ӣ PPE
Ӣ Minor civils
Ӣ Meter installation
Ӣ Professional services
Ӣ Web services
Ӣ Training
Ӣ Facilities management
Ӣ Security personnel/apparatus
Ӣ Full service marketing
Ӣ Provision of temporary workers
Ӣ Water and sewerage network services
We will be issuing lists of existing contracts on the day, and smaller companies should contact the prime contractors to see if there are any opportunities for sub-contracting.
There are tremendous opportunities for small tenders within NI Water. Where economically advantageous, NI Water has always used small, local suppliers, and this has resulted in numerous highly successful business arrangements for both parties. There have been SMEs with whom we’ve never had a contract winning small tenders over the last two years and that is good to see and good for the local economy. We operate with a budget of approximately £120 million per year, and therefore are a highly significant business customer.
We are actively encouraging interested small businesses to register their attendance at this event. If, for whatever reason, you can't make it along that day, please review our tenders through eSourcingNI, where we advertise all our tenders, in common with all Government Departments in Northern Ireland. We also advertise tenders on our website; look under the ‘About Us’ column and then click on 'Tender Opportunities' and then ‘Goods, Materials and Services’.
