## Summary

The procurement process involves the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust seeking support and maintenance services for the BHSCT Dispensing Robot, specifically for BCH and MIH robotics. This tender, classified under health and social work services, is part of a limited procurement method that was negotiated without prior publication of a contract notice, indicating a unique situation. The contract was awarded on 17 June 2021, with a financial value of £30,000, and is currently active, covering a location within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare technology and robotic systems, particularly those with expertise in service maintenance and support. Companies well-suited to compete may include those with a strong background in health services, particularly those capable of collaborating with key suppliers like Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd, which holds exclusive rights over the system involved. This contract may enable growth for businesses able to meet critical technical requirements and foster relationships within the public health sector.

BHSCT Dispensing Robot Support & Maintenance for - BCH and MIH robotics

### Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement as Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd have exclusive rights over the maintenance, updates and licences for this system which is critical to patient care and service delivery. The replacement of which would require infrastructure, ICT and validation work that would result in significant disruption and disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to deliver a Pharmacy dispensing service. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement. This is an interim measure, a tender process was unsuccessful and the wider market will be consulted again when this is re-tendered.
