## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for the Saphyr Bionano System - Reagents and rental of equipment, falling under the category of Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products. This procurement was carried out through a limited procurement method with the rationale that no reasonable alternative exists due to technical reasons. The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust signed the contract on June 5, 2024, with Bionano Genomics UK Ltd, valuing at £300,000. The procurement process was initiated on June 11, 2024, and the tender included only one lot, which was later cancelled.

This tender for the Saphyr Bionano System presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the medical equipment and healthcare sectors. As the procurement method was limited and specific to a particular economic operator, businesses with expertise in providing these services would be well-suited to compete. The buying organisation, Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, is a public entity governed by public law, and this contract can contribute to the growth of suppliers in the healthcare industry. The trust's procurement process aimed to ensure that essential services for patient care and service delivery are sustained through this interim contract, highlighting the critical nature of the tender.

### Procurement Information

No reasonable alternative exists for this procurement as this service is essential to patient care and service delivery. This procurement is required to cover an interim period until a tender process can be completed. A replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require validation and verification work that would result in significant disruption and disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact patient care and the trusts ability to deliver this service.
