This active procurement, titled "Surgical Dressings," invites suppliers to renew the framework agreement due to expire on 30 April 2026. The tender covers medical consumables and pharmaceutical products, with deliveries expected across Northern Ireland. Various organisations, including multiple Health and Social Care Trusts, are involved in the procurement, with the Belfast Trust as the leading entity. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 23 January 2026 and an enquiry period ending on 13 January 2026, with the award period until 1 April 2026. The procurement is structured under Northern Irish devolved regulations, following an open procedure with opportunities within the goods category. The tender offers significant business growth potential, especially for SMEs, as it includes a vast range of products like securement dressings, bandages, and orthopaedic items, along with a substantial contract value of £56.1 million. Businesses that specialise in medical consumables and pharmaceutical products are particularly suited to compete, given the contract’s focus on continuity of patient care, product familiarity, and compatibility with existing systems. The framework is unranked, meaning that all qualifying suppliers can be appointed, providing direct call-off or competition opportunities based on pricing, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with clinical and technical requirements. This is an excellent opportunity for enterprises to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector of Northern Ireland. ## Notice This tendering exercise aims at renewing the compliant and effective framework for the supply and delivery of Surgical Dressings and Miscellaneous Products [3508540] which is due to expire on 30th April 2026*.
