Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the purchase of a FibroScan 430+M and travel case, within the medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products industry category. This procurement, conducted under a limited procurement method without prior publication, was necessitated by the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract was awarded on 21 February 2025, with Echosens UK Ltd, a large supplier based in Altrincham, selected as the supplier. The total contract value is £107,156.5, and the delivery will be made to the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, located in Northern Ireland (UKN).

The procurement of the FibroScan 430+M and travel case presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced medical diagnostic equipment, particularly those capable of manufacturing unique technology for liver impairment diagnostics. Companies with expertise in innovative medical solutions and an established presence in the healthcare sector could benefit from engaging in similar tender processes. This contract highlights the importance of delivering specialised products where competition is limited due to technical capabilities, thus opening growth potential for firms that focus on niche medical devices.
