UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service is seeking a supplier on behalf of Belfast Health and Social Care Trust to provide an oesophageal radiofrequency ablation device and its consumables. This is a medical equipment supply contract for use by the Trust’s health services in Belfast. The requirement covers the device and consumables as a single lot. The Trust participated in evaluating offers through its tender assessment panel. Suppliers in the medical technology and healthcare equipment market with products for oesophageal radiofrequency ablation are the most directly relevant. The procurement also allows for the product range to increase in response to service-user requirements, so the scope may extend beyond the initial product range during the contract.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The contract is one lot, with an estimated value of £2,788,947 excluding VAT (£3,346,736.40 including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2034, with renewal periods of up to 36 months and an outer date of 31 May 2037. The deadline for enquiries was 5 November 2026 at 15:00, and the deadline for submissions was 12 November 2026 at 15:00. The expected award decision date was 4 January 2027. Offers must pass mandatory quality compliance against the specification and mandatory clinical evaluation against the product specification; price is then evaluated on overall total annual cost and accounts for 100% of the stated award weighting. Submissions may be made electronically in English.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide an oesophageal radiofrequency ablation device together with the associated consumables, and to demonstrate that their products meet the mandatory specification and clinical requirements. The evaluation makes clinical and technical compliance a pass-or-fail gateway, so suppliers need evidence that the proposed product conforms to the required product specification before price is considered. The successful supplier must also be able to support a healthcare service over a long-term contract and respond to possible increases in product range as service-user requirements change. The scale and clinical nature of the requirement are likely to favour established medical equipment suppliers with relevant product expertise, dependable supply arrangements and the capacity to serve a Belfast health trust.
