## Summary

The Southern Health & Social Care Trust is conducting a procurement process titled "Pharmacy Robot Maintenance," focused on repair and maintenance services for automated dispensing systems in the healthcare sector. This contract is currently at the Award stage, with the contract signed on 20th July 2021, valued at £25,218.88. The procurement method employed is limited, allowing for an award without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to the uniqueness of Becton Dickinson Ltd (BD), the sole supplier capable of fulfilling this requirement. The address for the buying organisation is 68 Lurgan Road, Portadown, Northern Ireland.

This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses in the healthcare services sector that offer specialised maintenance or servicing of medical equipment, especially those with expertise in automated systems. The contract creates room for business growth by allowing firms that can match the capabilities of the sole supplier to prepare for future tenders or contracts with the Southern Health & Social Care Trust or similar organisations in the healthcare domain. This creates a pathway for service providers looking to expand their portfolio in repair and maintenance services particularly relevant to the health sector.
