Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for the Data Warehousing for Pharmacy Stock Control System (JAC) through a direct award. This contract was awarded to System C Healthcare Limited, recognising its exclusive rights over the JAC software, which is critical for retaining historical pharmacy data as required by Good Management Good Records. The procurement aligns with Northern Irish devolved regulations and is part of maintaining the Electronic Health and Care Record system implemented by Health and Social Care Northern Ireland. The contract, valued at £66,000 gross, commenced on 1st November 2025 and will continue until 31st March 2029. The primary category for this service is IT services, which includes consulting and software development.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of providing proprietary or uniquely specialised systems. Although this tender was a direct award due to the sole supplier's exclusive rights, it highlights the demand for customised IT solutions in the health sector, especially those linked to data management and system integration. Businesses with a strong focus on healthcare technology, regulatory compliance in digital health, and the capacity to manage large-scale data systems would be highly suited to pursue similar opportunities as they arise.
