Summary of the contracting process

The Procurement and Logistics Service has initiated a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Molecular Diagnostics, primarily focusing on the procurement of medical equipment to support the Northern Ireland Regional Molecular Diagnostic Service. This ongoing procurement involves multiple stages, with the most recent extension of the DPS period being set until 23 February 2029, due to updated regulations under the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement falls under the medical equipment industry category and seeks to establish contracts for equipment like cytogenetic and genetic analysers. Operational in the UK regions, particularly Northern Ireland, the tender process is selective, utilising a restricted procedure method.

This tender presents numerous opportunities for businesses specialised in the supply of medical equipment, particularly those with products such as cytogenetic and genetic analysers, electrophoresis equipment, and related software. Firms capable of delivering high-quality healthcare solutions will find this DPS conducive to expanding their market presence, especially SMEs with expertise in supplying advanced diagnostic equipment. The procurement method, focused on quality over price (with a 70:30 quality-price ratio), favours businesses that can demonstrate superior technical offerings and innovative solutions within the medical diagnostic space. Such businesses can leverage this DPS to secure long-term contracts and contribute to the enhancement of molecular diagnostic capabilities in the health sector.
