Summary of the contracting process

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured routine servicing and repairs for its Natus equipment, carried out in line with the original equipment manufacturer’s recommendations. This is a specialist medical-equipment maintenance service rather than a general facilities-maintenance requirement. The equipment is located within the Trust’s estate in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The procurement covers one service lot and falls within the repair and maintenance services category. The buyer is Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, a public healthcare organisation. The requirement is focused on keeping Natus equipment operational through planned maintenance and repair, so it is relevant to suppliers with direct Natus capability, specialist medical-device engineering resources, or an authorised relationship with the equipment manufacturer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. Belfast Health & Social Care Trust selected Belmont Medical Technologies Ltd on 1 July 2026, using the stated basis that Belmont holds exclusive rights to provide maintenance for Natus equipment. The awarded value is £178,750 excluding VAT, or £214,500 including VAT. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. It may be renewed or extended in six-month steps to 29 February 2036, to support a regional re-tender or if that procurement does not result in an award. The award is above the relevant threshold, and the single lot was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award indicates a defined healthcare demand for manufacturer-compliant maintenance of Natus equipment within Belfast Health & Social Care Trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven competence in servicing and repairing Natus devices, the ability to follow original equipment manufacturer recommendations, and access to the manufacturer’s technical information, parts and support arrangements. The direct-award rationale shows that authorised or exclusive manufacturer rights are commercially significant for this requirement; suppliers without equivalent authority would face a substantial obstacle. Relevant firms are likely to be specialist medical-equipment engineering businesses, authorised service organisations or the manufacturer itself, with capacity to provide planned servicing and responsive repairs across a hospital equipment estate. The contract was awarded to an SME, indicating that this scale can be delivered by a smaller specialist supplier.
