BuySupplyNI.com

You are now able to source a number of supplies of PPE and social distancing products from the BuySupplyNI portal. Mid & East Antrim Borough Council, with the support of Invest NI, adapted the existing site which services the manufacturing industry, to provide a means to match buyers with local suppliers throughout Northern Ireland to access the products needed to return to work safely.

The site now features a dedicated COVID-19 Supplies section for suppliers and buyers across all industry sectors to register for free and upload the products they can supply or detail the products they require. This is a NI-wide initiative and with participation from Northern Ireland companies it can be developed to fill the current and growing need for PPE and other social distancing supplies during the pandemic.  The link to register for the COVID-19 Supplies section is: www.buysupplyni.com/covid-19-supplies-register
