## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of Flow Cytometry services within its laboratories, categorised under hospital and related services. This procurement, initiated through a limited tender process without prior publication, is currently at the award stage. The contract, valued at £275,000, was signed on 4th March 2021, with related addresses located in Belfast, UK. This service is deemed critical for patient care and service delivery, as indicated by the rationale for the absence of competition within the procurement method.

This opportunity could significantly benefit businesses that specialise in laboratory services, particularly those offering advanced flow cytometry technology and support. Companies with a focus on medical and healthcare services, especially those capable of providing tailored solutions to meet specific technical needs, would be well-suited to compete in this niche market. The successful supplier, Becton Dickenson UK Ltd, reflects the potential for collaboration in the healthcare sector, presenting opportunities for similar enterprises to expand their services and client base within the public health framework.

### Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement and this service is critical to patient care and service delivery. The replacement of which would require infrastructure, ICT and extensive validation work that would result in significant disruption and disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to deliver services. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement. This is an interim measure as contract implementation is currently being progressed. The wider market was consulted when the ALMS tender was progressed.
