## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust is conducting a procurement process for the "Saphyr BioNano System - Bionano Genomics," classified under "Laboratory, optical and precision equipment". This tender falls within the goods category and uses a limited procurement method, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the specialised nature of the equipment required for patient care. The contract, valued at £300,000, was signed on 18 January 2022, and delivery is expected at the trust's location in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in laboratory equipment and genomic analysis technologies, particularly those able to provide unique and essential services that cannot be supplied by any alternative provider. Businesses that focus on innovative medical technologies, genomic diagnostics, or similar medical equipment would be well-positioned to engage in such tenders and contribute to advancing healthcare solutions in the UK.

## Notice

Saphyr BioNano System - Bionano Genomics

### Procurement Information

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement as this service is essential to patient care and service delivery. This is a highly specialised element of the service, this system is capable of analysing genomes of the complexity and size of the human genome providing the required diagnostic utility. A tender process has been delayed due to Covid19 and available resources, this procurement is required to cover the interim period until that process can be completed. A replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive and robust validation and verification work that would result in significant disruption and disproportionate technical difficulties that would significantly impact on patient care and the Trusts ability to deliver services. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
