Summary of the contracting process

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured routine servicing and repair of Penlon and MEC anaesthetic equipment and ventilators. The work covers maintenance in line with the manufacturers’ recommendations, supporting the continued operation of clinical equipment used by the Trust. This is a specialist equipment maintenance service rather than the supply of new medical equipment. The work is centred on the Trust’s estate in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The requirement is relevant to businesses with technical capability in anaesthetic machinery and ventilator servicing, particularly those able to work on Penlon and MEC equipment and follow original equipment manufacturer maintenance standards. It may also interest specialist healthcare engineering and medical equipment maintenance providers serving public-sector hospitals.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The Trust awarded the contract to MET HEALTHCARE LIMITED on 2 July 2026, following confirmation from Penlon and MEC that they hold exclusive rights for servicing and repairing the equipment. The award value is £745,000 excluding VAT (£894,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. It may be extended in six-month stages up to 29 February 2036 to support a regional re-tender or if that re-tender does not result in an award. There was one completed lot, considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is above the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Belfast Health & Social Care Trust for specialist maintenance of Penlon and MEC anaesthetic equipment and ventilators. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical expertise in servicing and repairing these specific manufacturers’ equipment, with the ability to maintain ventilators and anaesthetic machinery in accordance with original equipment manufacturer recommendations. Providers should be able to support a hospital environment, deliver routine servicing as well as repairs, and maintain reliable equipment performance across the Trust’s Belfast estate. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses already supporting NHS or healthcare estates may be well placed if they hold the relevant manufacturer rights, technical competence and service capacity.
