## Summary

The contract for the maintenance of BK Ultrasound Machines awarded by the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust in Northern Ireland has reached the completion stage as of 3rd December 2025. The procurement process was initiated through a direct award method to Uniphar Medtech Ltd based in Dublin, Ireland, citing exclusive rights for servicing these ultrasound machines. The contract, valued at £415,000, covers routine service and repair of approximately eight machines and will run from 3rd December 2025 to 30th November 2026, with potential extensions until February 2031. This procurement falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services and adheres to Northern Irish devolved regulations.

The direct award of this contract creates significant opportunities for businesses specialised in medical equipment maintenance, especially those with established partnerships or exclusive service rights with equipment manufacturers. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on diagnostic imaging equipment servicing stand to benefit from engaging with public health trusts seeking reliable maintenance solutions. As the contract has provisions for renewal within the regional framework for diagnostic imaging equipment maintenance, businesses that can demonstrate high-quality service and reliability will be well-positioned to leverage this for sustained growth in the public procurement sector.
