Summary of the contracting process

The Procurement and Logistics Service bought endoscopy accessories and related medical consumables for Northern Ireland’s health and social care services. The scope covered ERCP, biopsy, dilation, guidewires, endoscopic ancillaries, polypectomy, haemostasis, pulmonary products, stents, endoscopic ultrasound accessories and endourology. The goods are classified under CPV 33000000, with endoscopy and endosurgery devices as a more specific classification. Delivery is across Northern Ireland. The purchasing bodies included Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, Northern Health and Social Care Trust, South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust, Southern Health and Social Care Trust and the Business Services Organisation. The arrangement was divided into 11 specialist lots, allowing suppliers to focus on particular product families while covering a broad regional healthcare requirement.

The procurement used an open procedure and has reached completion. It was run as a framework agreement with up to 99 participants; suppliers could bid for a maximum of 11 lots. Each lot had an estimated value of £22,035,750 and a 720-day contract period, with two optional 12-month extensions. The tender closed on 12 September 2022, bids were opened at 15:30 the same day, and bid validity ran to 27 March 2023. Contracts were signed on 16 November 2022. Each of the 11 awards is active and each corresponding contract is active. The lots are recorded as cancelled in the tender data, but awards and contracts were made for all lots. Evaluation was based on price, variants were not allowed, and 23 bids were recorded for every lot. The amended procurement value was £33,053,625, reflecting possible additional volumes.

This requirement is relevant to manufacturers, specialist medical-device distributors and healthcare suppliers able to provide regulated endoscopy accessories across multiple clinical applications. The successful supplier pool included SMEs and larger businesses from the UK and Ireland, showing that both specialist distributors and established medical-device companies could compete. Credibility requires dependable supply, product knowledge and the operational capacity to support hospitals across Northern Ireland, with enough range to cover one or more specialist areas such as stents, guidewires, biopsy, polypectomy, haemostasis or pulmonary products. Competition was substantial: every lot attracted 23 bids, including between five and 15 SME bids. A framework model with many participants also favours suppliers able to maintain catalogue breadth, fulfil recurring clinical demand and respond competitively on price.
