UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has initiated an open tender process for the supply of surgical dressings and related products. This active procurement, titled "Surgical Dressings," invites suppliers to renew the framework agreement due to expire on 30 April 2026. The tender covers medical consumables and pharmaceutical products, with deliveries expected across Northern Ireland. Various organisations, including multiple Health and Social Care Trusts, are involved in the procurement, with the Belfast Trust as the leading entity. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 23 January 2026 and an enquiry period ending on 13 January 2026, with the award period until 1 April 2026. The procurement is structured under Northern Irish devolved regulations, following an open procedure with opportunities within the goods category.

The tender offers significant business growth potential, especially for SMEs, as it includes a vast range of products like securement dressings, bandages, and orthopaedic items, along with a substantial contract value of £56.1 million. Businesses that specialise in medical consumables and pharmaceutical products are particularly suited to compete, given the contract’s focus on continuity of patient care, product familiarity, and compatibility with existing systems. The framework is unranked, meaning that all qualifying suppliers can be appointed, providing direct call-off or competition opportunities based on pricing, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with clinical and technical requirements. This is an excellent opportunity for enterprises to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector of Northern Ireland.

In accordance with CP21 the Tender Assessment Methodology, all suppliers who meet the assessment criteria will be appointed to the framework. The framework does not rank suppliers, and call-off decisions will be made based on the Buyer's operational, clinical, and technical requirements: -Continuity of Patient Care: Uninterrupted service is essential for patient safety and clinical outcomes. -Unpredictable, Ad-Hoc, or Low Volume Requirements: Demand is irregular or cannot be forecasted reliably. -Product Familiarity: End-users are familiar with the product, and switching would incur disproportionate training or adaptation costs. -Device or System Compatibility: The product must be compatible with existing systems or equipment. -Patient-Specific Clinical Requirements: A clinician has determined a specific product is necessary for an individual patient's clinical needs. -Governance, quality control, and risk (e.g. standardisation, patient safety) -Price and/or cost-effectiveness."
