## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Regional Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service pertains to the supply of "Wound Retractors/Protectors" within the healthcare sector. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure for operating theatre devices and instruments, with the process now at the completion stage. This contract, valued at £985,000, was officially signed on 20th May 2025. The procurement serves the UK region, specifically, Northern Ireland, as indicated by the delivery address. It was originally published for tender on 22nd January 2025, with the tender period closing on 24th February 2025, marking the start of the award period and bid opening. The procurement ensures a structured framework agreement, though it clarifies that no minimum demand or uptake is guaranteed.

The tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying medical equipment, particularly those specialising in surgical devices. With the procurement relying on an open procedure, it presents an equal opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to compete, as evidenced by the involvement of SMEs such as Applied Medical UK Limited and Uniphar Medtech Ltd. The framework agreement aspect indicates potential future business beyond the initial two-year contract, including possible extensions and increased service requirements. Businesses able to supply high-quality medical instruments with competitive pricing are ideally positioned to thrive in this procurement environment.
