Summary of the contracting process

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured routine servicing and repair of Trumpf and Mindray surgical equipment, maintained in line with original equipment manufacturer recommendations. The requirement covers surgical equipment used within the Trust’s operations in Belfast, including the relevant operating-room and examination equipment portfolios. The service category is repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The equipment scope includes Trumpf and Mindray systems, with the procurement referring specifically to Trumpf Medical operating-room tables and accessories, surgical examination lights, pendants, supply units and video solutions. This is a specialist healthcare engineering and equipment-maintenance requirement for a public healthcare organisation, rather than a general facilities-maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award procedure. MET Healthcare Limited was selected on 3 September 2026 for the single lot. The award value is £935,340 excluding VAT, or £1,122,408 including VAT, and the award is above the applicable threshold. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. It may be extended in six-month steps to 31 March 2036, to allow completion of a regional Northern Ireland health-service re-tender or if that process does not result in an award. The contract is expected to be signed by 15 September 2026. The direct-award rationale was exclusive distribution and maintenance rights for Mindray equipment in Northern Ireland and Trumpf Medical equipment in Ireland, supported by manufacturer confirmations.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Belfast Health & Social Care Trust for specialist maintenance of Trumpf and Mindray surgical equipment at substantial healthcare-estate scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability to service, repair and maintain these manufacturers’ equipment, while following OEM recommendations and supporting safety-critical operating-room and examination systems. Relevant technical coverage would include operating-room tables and accessories, surgical examination lights, pendants, supply units and video solutions, alongside Mindray equipment. Manufacturer-backed authorisation, exclusive distribution rights or other clear evidence of access to genuine technical knowledge and parts would be commercially important. Experience in healthcare environments, dependable response and repair capacity, and the ability to support a long-term service arrangement would strengthen a supplier’s position.
