Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service is buying calibration and repair services for audiology equipment and newborn hearing-screening equipment used across Northern Ireland’s Health and Social Care services. The participating organisations are the Northern, South Eastern, Southern, Western and Belfast Health and Social Care Trusts. The work covers testing and calibration equipment, audiology and audio equipment, and associated repair and maintenance. This is a healthcare technical-services requirement for suppliers able to support clinical hearing-assessment and newborn screening equipment across multiple Trusts. Services are for the participating Trusts in Northern Ireland; their named locations include Antrim, Belfast, Portadown and Londonderry.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached tender; suppliers were invited to submit bids electronically in English. The deadline for questions was 25 November 2026 at 15:00, and the bid deadline was 2 December 2026 at 15:00. The stated evaluation gives price 90% and social value 10%, alongside a mandatory pass/fail quality assessment. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £2,254,824.78 excluding VAT (£2,705,789.74 including VAT). The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with possible renewal periods of up to 36 months, extending at most to 31 March 2035. Additional purchases and services may be added during the contract, including increases to the service range to meet user needs.

This opportunity suits providers with practical capability in the calibration, testing, repair and maintenance of audiology and newborn hearing-screening equipment. Suppliers should be equipped to serve several Health and Social Care Trusts across Northern Ireland, rather than a single site, and to support equipment used in hearing assessment and screening. The requirement combines specialist technical servicing with the capacity to respond to a service range that may grow in line with users’ needs. Bidders should be prepared to pass the mandatory quality assessment and demonstrate social value, while offering a competitive price, which carries most of the scored evaluation. The service is a multi-year commitment across healthcare settings; suppliers with relevant equipment expertise and the operational reach to support distributed Trust locations are best placed to compete.
