Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for MRC Holland Commercial kits for dosage analysis (MLPA Kits), classified under the industry category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment. This tender was classified as a limited procurement method with no prior publication of a call for competition due to the sole-source nature of the supplier, MRC Holland BV. The contract, valued at £110,000, was formally awarded on 1st March 2022, with the delivery location specified as the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust – Laboratories.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical and medical supply sectors, particularly those that specialise in advanced laboratory equipment and assay kits. However, due to the absence of alternative suppliers and the specific nature of these MLPA kits, only suppliers with unique technical capabilities, such as MRC Holland BV, are suited to compete. Businesses looking to engage in this niche should prepare to demonstrate their technical qualifications and establish relationships with health authorities like the Belfast Trust to leverage similar future contracts.
