UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Regional Business Services Organisation's Procurement and Logistics Service in Belfast, focuses on a significant acquisition of Flexible Endoscopes and Associated Equipment. The process operates within the public authority under Northern Irish regulations and has reached the award stage as of 1st May 2026. This open procedure results in a comprehensive framework agreement that spans multiple health and social care trusts across various regions in the UK. Noteworthy, the procurement is divided into three lots, all of which were successfully completed. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £35.4 million, officially commenced on 1st May 2026 and is scheduled to run until 30th April 2030, providing opportunities for additional purchases in line with evolving service user requirements.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in medical equipment, particularly flexible endoscopes and related products. Such businesses can significantly benefit from long-term and recurring opportunities available through the framework agreement, capitalising on the stability and growth potential offered by the healthcare sector. As the contract allows for an increase in product range and additional purchases, businesses that can align with the exacting quality and sustainability standards detailed in the tender specifications are particularly well-suited to compete. By establishing themselves as reliable suppliers within this framework, these businesses can position themselves for ongoing expansion and collaboration within the UK's public healthcare procurement landscape.
