Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service buys vital signs monitors and associated patient-monitoring equipment for health services across the UK. The requirement covers three product types: monitors with a screen, monitors with a display screen that include ECG rhythm monitoring, and vital signs spot monitors. The equipment is intended for clinical monitoring; the ECG-enabled category specifically includes rhythm measurement. The participating buyers include Northern, Belfast, Western, South Eastern and Southern Health and Social Care Trusts, the NI Ambulance Service Trust and the Business Services Organisation. Delivery is described as UK-wide, so suppliers need to be able to serve healthcare organisations across that area. This is a supply requirement for medical monitoring equipment rather than a works contract or a clinical service.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded under an open procedure and framework agreement. Coffey Healthcare, Norso Medical, Fannin, SISK Healthcare trading as Cardiac Services, Cardiotec, Medilink Services NI, Draeger Medical and MDI Medical were appointed for screen monitors; the ECG-rhythm monitor lot has the same suppliers except Cardiotec. The spot-monitor lot was awarded to Coffey Healthcare, Norso Medical, Fannin, Draeger Medical and MDI Medical. The three lot values are £13,978,969.40, £5,267,437.74 and £1,012,968.80 respectively; the later framework contract is valued at £20,259,375. Contracts were signed on 22 November 2022. The stated contract period is 1,620 days, with potential extensions of up to 18 months for delays or other stated circumstances. Quality carried 60% and price 40%.

This award shows demand for a broad range of vital signs monitoring equipment across Northern Ireland’s health and ambulance services, delivered through a multi-supplier framework rather than a single-provider arrangement. A credible competitor would need to supply reliable screen-based monitors, including products capable of ECG rhythm monitoring, as well as spot monitors, and support supply across multiple healthcare organisations. The awards went to a mix of specialist medical equipment suppliers, including several small and medium-sized firms and one larger supplier, indicating that smaller distributors and established manufacturers could compete. For a future requirement, suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate strong technical and product quality alongside competitive pricing, since quality was weighted more heavily than price. Experience supplying clinical monitoring equipment and the capacity to serve a wide public-health customer base would be relevant.
