Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service, based in Belfast, UK, has completed the procurement process for the supply and delivery of Sterile Fluids under the title "Sterile Fluids [5323348]". This process, classified under the pharmaceutical products industry category, was conducted using an open procedure method. Key dates included the tender award in November 2024, with the contract signed on 9th April 2025. The procurement's main focus was on goods, specifically pharmaceutical products, and involved multiple participants including ten participating bodies within the Health and Social Care (HSC) trusts in Northern Ireland. Although the initial contract period is 24 months, there is an option for extension as per the commercial conditions outlined.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the pharmaceutical and healthcare supply sector to grow, especially those specialising in the production and distribution of sterile fluids. With the continuation of supply needs across the HSC in Northern Ireland, companies that excel in meeting stringent quality standards and ensuring continuity of supply can find robust business growth potential. This includes enterprises that can offer product attributes such as GS1-compliant barcoding and PVC/DEHP/Latex-free product status. Companies capable of handling large-scale distribution and ensuring reliable delivery services would be well-suited to compete in this procurement landscape. Moreover, businesses with a capacity for innovation in product design and ethical procurement practices could leverage this opportunity to strengthen their market position.
