Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust is undertaking a contract for the maintenance of Heidelberg Ophthalmology Equipment, categorised under repair and maintenance services for medical and precision equipment. This procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract valued at £185,000, set to span from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2027. The tender was initiated through a limited procurement method, following a negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the contract has been awarded to Heidelberg Engineering Limited, the sole provider qualified for these services in Northern Ireland.

This contract presents a unique opportunity for companies involved in medical equipment maintenance and repair, particularly those with expertise in ophthalmology. Businesses that provide routine service, calibration, or repairs for ophthalmic equipment and have access to OEM parts would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of a similar nature. Given that Heidelberg Engineering Limited exclusively holds the rights for service in this case, firms with innovative solutions or complementary offerings in ophthalmology may find opportunities to collaborate or extend their services within this sector.
