## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for the maintenance of BK ultrasound machines, classified under the repair and maintenance services industry (CPV code 50000000). This contract, valued at £30,000 for an initial 6-month period starting from 1st September 2024 to 28th February 2025, with the possibility of a 6-month extension, is intended to maintain diagnostic imaging equipment within the Trust. The procurement method employed was a limited (negotiated without prior publication) approach, justified by the technical necessity due to the sole-provider status of Uniphar Medtech Ltd t/a Tekno Surgical.
