Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process by Belfast Health & Social Care Trust is centred on the maintenance of Smoke Dampers, specifically Action Air and Safegard, within its premises in Belfast, United Kingdom. The industry category is repair and maintenance services, a contract primarily focusing on routine services with potential extensions until 2035. This process has moved through the award and contract stages, with Safegard Systems as the supplier, utilising a direct procurement method due to exclusive rights held by the supplier. The initial contract period is from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2030, potentially extending to 31st August 2035, with adaptations every six months if necessary. Key contacts for the tender include Nigel Anderson at Belfast Health & Social Care Trust.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the services sector, especially those specialising in damper maintenance and repair, given the long-term nature and substantial value of the contract, set at an amount of £960,000 gross. While competition may be limited due to the direct awarding based on exclusive rights, understanding such procurement processes can assist businesses in strategic positioning for similar opportunities. Companies providing innovative solutions or seeking collaborations might also benefit, particularly if they aim to secure future renewals or extensions through showing unique capabilities or partnerships in related services.
