Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has successfully completed the tender process for the Haemobank Service and Maintenance Contract, classified under the health and social work services industry category. Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the procurement process has been finalised with the awarding of the contract on 9th December 2024 for a total value of £49,890. The procurement was conducted using a limited procedure, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the bespoke nature of the technology supplied by Accuscience Ireland Ltd.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in bespoke health technology and maintenance services, particularly those with capabilities in delivering niche medical equipment solutions. The decision to award this contract to a single supplier highlights the importance of specialised knowledge and technical expertise in this area. Companies with a strong focus on health technology, especially those that offer customised and technically refined products or services, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts.

Notice Title

Haemobank Service and Maintenance Contract

Notice Description

Procurement of Haemobank Service and Maintenance Contract

Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative or substitute exists for this procurement as the technology is bespoke to Accuscience. This is an interim arrangement as a regional tender for blood tracking (BPAT) has been awarded and implementation is in the early stages. To replace these haemobanks in the interim would require significant infrastructure, validation and ICT works that would impact on patient care and service delivery. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
