## Summary

The procurement process involves the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, which is seeking contracts for the procurement of the Sentimag Magseed Magnetic Marker, a product used in medical equipment. This initiative falls under the goods category within the medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products industry. The awarding of the contract has been classified as complete, with a total value of £247,500 and signing date on 8th July 2022. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure, specifically without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the specificity of the product required for compatibility with existing systems in place at BHSCT, located in Belfast, UK.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those that can provide compatible magnetic markers or similar medical equipment that align with precise technical specifications required by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. Companies with an established track record in the healthcare or medical equipment field, particularly those aware of the regulatory standards and compatibility issues, will find the opportunity attractive. As such, firms that can respond rapidly to this specific procurement need stand to gain in an environment where service delivery and continuity of patient care are paramount.

### Procurement Information

No reasonable alternative exists for this procurement as these magseed magnetic markers are the only compatible marker for the Sentimag System that is in place in BHSCT. To acquire supplies having different technical characteristics would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties and would impact service delivery and continuity of patient care. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
