Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has awarded a contract for Support & Maintenance for Clinysis Pathology Systems, a health and social work services category procurement, to Clinisys Solutions Limited. The procurement method was a limited tender with the rationale that Clinisys holds exclusive rights over the software necessary for the Trust's laboratory services. The contract, valued at £903,968, was signed on 31st July 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the health and social work services sector to engage in providing support and maintenance services for specialised pathology systems. Due to the exclusive rights held by Clinisys, competition for this particular contract was limited. Businesses with expertise in health technology and pathology systems maintenance would be well-suited to compete in similar procurements in this industry category.

Procurement of Support & Maintenance for Clinysis Pathology Systems (Labcentre)

Procurement Information

Laboratories in Belfast Health and Social Care Trust to function. CliniSys have exclusive rights over the software, licences and updates for this system. A tender process that encompasses the functionality of this software is currently under way. This contract is required in the interim to cover the transitional period and a replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive ICT infrastructure, validation and integration work that would result in significant disruption and lead to disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to provide a Laboratory Service and thus have a major and critical impact on the Trust's ability to deliver patient care. The wider market has been consulted as part of the tender process for the replacement of this system. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
