Summary of the contracting process

Procurement and Logistics Service is buying hysteroscopic tissue-removal equipment and associated consumables for Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland. The requirement covers two supply models: loaned equipment with consumables, and purchased equipment with consumables. The goods are medical equipment (CPV 33100000) and are intended for the Northern Ireland health and social care trusts, including South Eastern, Belfast, Western, Southern and Northern Health and Social Care Trusts. Delivery activity covers Northern Ireland. The arrangement is a framework with a mini-competition facility, allowing participating suppliers to compete for subsequent requirements under the framework. It is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist healthcare suppliers able to provide hysteroscopic tissue-removal systems and their consumables across multiple health-service organisations.

The procurement has been awarded through an open procedure and is complete. It established a framework with up to 99 participants and a mini-competition facility. Lot 1, for loaned equipment and consumables, was awarded to Premier Medical Limited and Healthcare 21 NI; its contract value is £950,000. Lot 2, for purchased equipment and consumables, was awarded to Premier Medical Limited, Healthcare 21 NI and Northern Hospital Supplies Ltd; its contract value is £950,000. Both contracts were signed on 18 May 2023 and have a stated duration of 720 days, with renewal provisions described as periods totalling up to 24 months and further periods of up to 18 months. The award basis was price only, with no variants allowed. The published procurement estimate was £1,900,000, including contingencies and possible extensions; it was later amended to £2,600,000 for continuity of clinical supply pending replacement procurement.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand across Northern Ireland’s health and social care trusts for hysteroscopic tissue-removal equipment and consumables, supplied through a multi-supplier framework and mini-competitions. A credible future competitor would need to provide either loan equipment or equipment for purchase, together with compatible consumables, and support deployment across several healthcare organisations. The previous competition attracted three bids for each lot, and all three Lot 2 bidders were small or medium-sized enterprises; two of the three Lot 1 bidders were SMEs. The awarded supplier profile shows that specialist distributors and medical-equipment businesses can compete, including firms based in Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the EU. Price competitiveness was decisive, so suppliers would need a robust cost model alongside dependable clinical supply and distribution capability.
