Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of Flow Cytometry services within its laboratories, categorised under hospital and related services. This procurement, initiated through a limited tender process without prior publication, is currently at the award stage. The contract, valued at £275,000, was signed on 4th March 2021, with related addresses located in Belfast, UK. This service is deemed critical for patient care and service delivery, as indicated by the rationale for the absence of competition within the procurement method.

This opportunity could significantly benefit businesses that specialise in laboratory services, particularly those offering advanced flow cytometry technology and support. Companies with a focus on medical and healthcare services, especially those capable of providing tailored solutions to meet specific technical needs, would be well-suited to compete in this niche market. The successful supplier, Becton Dickenson UK Ltd, reflects the potential for collaboration in the healthcare sector, presenting opportunities for similar enterprises to expand their services and client base within the public health framework.
