Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Maintenance of Natus Equipment" contract, which centres on the routine service and repair of Natus equipment within its facilities. The award was made using a direct procurement method, specifically a direct award due to the exclusive rights held by the supplier. The contractual agreement is pivotal within the services industry category, particularly focusing on repair and maintenance services. Scheduled to commence on 1st September 2026, the contract is set to run until 31st August 2031, with possible extensions leading up to 29th February 2036. This procurement process is governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations and relevant UK legislation, and the future signature date is due by 15th July 2026.
