Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract for the "Procurement of SecurACath Device" has been concluded by the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, a central government public authority based in Belfast, United Kingdom. This contract, dated 18 August 2025, involves the single-supplier procurement of a patented medical device used for securing percutaneous catheters, highlighting the procurement's completion stage. The procurement method employed was a direct award due to technical reasons, as the SecurACath device is exclusively available from one supplier, MPJ Healthcare, based in Ireland. The contract, valued at £225,000, is set for a period starting from 15 July 2025 to 14 July 2028, providing medical equipment within the UK's Northern Region.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in medical equipment supply, particularly those with a capacity for producing niche or patent-protected medical devices. Companies similar to MPJ Healthcare, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) with expertise in innovative medical solutions, can find opportunities to compete in tenders where exclusive rights or technical specifications limit competition. Such direct awards highlight the importance of patents and specialized knowledge in securing contracts, offering growth prospects for SMEs to expand their market presence and leverage their unique offerings within public sector contracts.
