Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation’s Procurement and Logistics Service bought orthopaedic implants and consumables for trauma and joint replacement surgery across Northern Ireland. The products support surgical treatment by health and social care services, with delivery specified for the United Kingdom. Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust, Southern Health and Social Care Trust and Western Health & Social Care Trust took part in evaluating the procurement. The requirement covers orthopaedic supplies, support devices and prostheses, for use in both trauma procedures and joint replacement. It was procured as a single lot, combining the product requirement rather than separating it into multiple purchasing lots.

The procurement is complete: the contract was awarded on 27 July 2026 and signed on 1 September 2026. The award went to a supplier group including Bone Support UK, Johnson & Johnson Medical, Ideal Med, Acumed, Advance Medical Supplies, Joint Operations, New Vision Healthcare, Orthopaediatric EU, Down Surgical, Uniphar Medtech, Fannin NI, Integra Neurosciences, Conmed, Electramed, Armstrong Medical, Adler Ortho, Hospital Innovations, PEI Surgical, Zimmer Biomet, Causeway Surgical, Stryker, Lynch Medical Supplies, Link Orthopaedics and Biocomposites. The contract value is £105 million excluding VAT (£126 million including VAT). Its initial term runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with extensions of up to 24 months, to a maximum end date of 31 August 2030. The open procedure established a closed framework, with call-offs with or without reopened competition. Evaluation included mandatory quality and verification assessments; selection considered economic and technical criteria.

This award shows demand for a broad range of orthopaedic trauma and joint replacement products across Northern Ireland’s health and social care trusts, through a multi-supplier framework. Competitors need to supply implants, consumables, support devices or prostheses relevant to these surgical services, and to demonstrate product quality through mandatory quality and verification assessments. The selection process also considered economic and technical capability, so credible suppliers need evidence of financial standing and the technical ability to provide suitable products. The breadth of the awarded supplier group indicates that specialist product portfolios can contribute alongside broader ranges. Suppliers should be equipped to support a framework where products may be called off with or without further competition, and to accommodate changes in product range as service-user requirements evolve.
