Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has successfully completed a procurement process titled "BHSCT Dispensing Robot Support & Maintenance." Classified under health and social work services, this procurement was negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to the exclusive technical rights held by Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd for maintenance and updates of the dispensing robot system, which is indispensable for patient care. The contract, signed on 17th June 2021, is valued at £80,000 and is currently active, facilitating vital support services within the UK healthcare sector.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare technology services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised maintenance and support solutions. Given the exclusive nature of the contract and the lack of competition, companies with established relationships or prior experience with the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, or those that provide complementary healthcare technologies, would be well-positioned to engage in future tender opportunities or to explore partnerships aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery systems in the region.
