Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process titled "Provision of products for HLA Typing of DNA Samples Services" under the industry category of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. The procurement focused on the supply of products critical for HLA Typing of DNA samples, with a delivery location specified as the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust in the UK region. This process followed a limited procurement method without prior call for competition due to the technical necessity, and it concluded with the award of the contract on 24th October 2024 to VH BIO LTD, valued at £100,000. Key contacts and procurement details can be found through the Trust’s official channels.

This tender offers unique business growth opportunities for companies specialising in medical supplies, particularly those with expertise in DNA sample analysis and HLA Typing. The lack of competition due to technical constraints means that businesses with specialised capabilities and accredited standards compliance, such as adherence to UKAS ISO15189, are particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. Companies that can ensure service continuity and meet critical patient care standards will find significant potential in engaging with tenders from health and social care authorities like the Belfast Trust.

Procurement of products for HLA Typing of DNA Samples Services

Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement and this service is critical to patient care and service delivery. This procurement is both essential and critical in supporting the long-term/optimum graft survival of renal transplant patients. A replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive and robust validation and verification work in line with laboratory accreditation standards - UKAS ISO15189 that would result in significant disruption and disproportionate technical difficulties that would significantly impact on patient safety and the Trusts ability to deliver services. A new contract 4535237 has been awarded and the equipment is currently undergoing validation, this DAC is required to ensure service continuity until full implementation of the contract.
