Summary of the contracting process

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement for the supply and delivery of External Ventricular Drainage systems on behalf of the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.

The process is currently at the planning stage, with a deadline for the submission of the completed questionnaire by 3pm on 16th May 2025. Potential suppliers are invited to register and respond through the eTendersNI platform.
