## Summary

The Business Services Organisation (BSO), Procurement and Logistics Service on behalf of Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland issued a tender for the provision of Dynamic Pressure Area Care Products and Associated Services, classified under the CPV code 39143112 (Mattresses). The procurement process, identified by ocid "ocds-h6vhtk-0450f9", followed an open procedure. Initially active, the procurement was managed through multiple lots, each focusing on different types of pressure care products, including powered hybrid mattresses and bariatric low air loss replacement mattresses. The procurement aimed to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tenders (MEAT) based on the lowest price/cost submissions, ensuring compliance with the specified requirements. However, as of August 2024, the contract was cancelled on grounds that the published specifications did not accurately meet the health and social care requirements, with the procurement stage marked as discontinued. Key locations for delivery include various regions in Northern Ireland.

This tender originally presented substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers in the medical goods industry, specialising in mattresses and related products. Businesses could have benefited from a substantial contract spanning up to 4 years with an additional 18-month emergency extension, encouraging long-term planning and stable revenue streams. Companies strong in cost-competitive offerings and compliance with healthcare product standards were particularly well-suited to participate. Despite the cancellation, the framework agreement structure indicates potential future opportunities for similar procurements, making it advantageous for businesses to remain vigilant for updates and revised tenders from the BSO and associated health trusts in Northern Ireland.
