Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has concluded a direct award contract with LivaNova UK Limited for the maintenance of specialist theatre equipment. The procurement, categorised under repair and maintenance services, will be performed onsite at the Trust's premises in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This contract, based on exclusive rights due to LivaNova being the sole provider, spans from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2027, with a gross value of £1,380,000. The procurement process was conducted under the legal framework of the UK Public General Acts 2023, indicating adherence to Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This contract presents substantial business opportunities for suppliers in the healthcare services sector, specifically those experienced in maintaining specialist medical equipment. While the current award to LivaNova underscores the importance of having exclusive capabilities or proprietary rights to deliver such services, it demonstrates the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust's commitment to ensuring high-quality maintenance standards. Companies aiming to enter into similar contracts in the future would benefit from developing strong technical expertise and exclusive service offerings, positioning themselves as niche providers in the healthcare maintenance sector.
