Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for the maintenance of BK ultrasound machines, classified under the repair and maintenance services industry (CPV code 50000000). This contract, valued at £30,000 for an initial 6-month period starting from 1st September 2024 to 28th February 2025, with the possibility of a 6-month extension, is intended to maintain diagnostic imaging equipment within the Trust. The procurement method employed was a limited (negotiated without prior publication) approach, justified by the technical necessity due to the sole-provider status of Uniphar Medtech Ltd t/a Tekno Surgical. The most recent completion date and key signing took place on 27th August 2024, facilitating continuity in service provision amid delays in the regional contract renewal process.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in medical equipment maintenance services. The contract's technical specificity and the pre-existing relationship with NHS Supply Chain make it vital for businesses adept in high technical standards and capable of meeting strict service regulations. Companies possessing OEM parts access and those experienced in working within healthcare environments, especially in maintenance and calibration of sensitive diagnostic equipment, will find this contract highly suited to their expertise and operational capacities.
