Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for the "Rees Monitoring System in Kelvin & IOP Laboratories BHSCT," falling under the goods category specifically for laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. This procurement utilized a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting the unique technical requirements of the project. The contract was signed on 26 January 2022, with a total value of £96,620. The delivery location is specified as the laboratories within the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, situated in Belfast, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and monitoring systems. Given that Accuscience holds exclusive rights for the Rees Temperature Monitoring System within Northern Ireland, opportunities may arise for complementary businesses offering related services, solutions, or technologies that ensure compliance with laboratory regulations and standards. Companies with expertise in integrated monitoring systems, regulatory compliance, or those providing innovative technological solutions in laboratory settings would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of a similar nature.

Rees Monitoring System in Kelvin & IOP Laboratories BHSCT

Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement. Continuous temperature monitoring of fridge, freezers, incubators, and laboratory areas, is a requirement of laboratory regulation and accreditation bodies as well as compliance with standards that laboratories operate under, such as ISO15198:2012 as assessed by United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), Blood Safety and Quality Regulations (2005:as amended) (BSQR) and Human Tissue Authority (HTA). The Laboratories have a Rees Temperature monitoring system in place that needs to be further extended to ensure adequate monitoring and provide compliance with ISO 15189:2012 as assessed by UKAS and meet regulatory requirements under HTA. Temperature monitoring needs to be performed by one integrated system for comparative and standardisation purposes. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement. Accuscience have exclusive rights for the Rees TMS within Northern Ireland. A replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require ICT infrastructure, robust validation and verification work in line with the laboratory accreditation standards and regulations mentioned above. This would result in disruption and disproportionate technical difficulties that would significantly impact the Laboratories ability to deliver services and impact patient care and safety.
