## Summary

The procurement process led by the Northern Health and Social Care Trust focuses on the acquisition of Clinitek Status consumables for urinalysis and urine hCG analysis, titled "Urinalysis and Urine Pregnancy Testing." It falls under the medical equipment and pharmaceuticals category, with a specific location in Antrim, Northern Ireland. The procurement stage has reached completion with a contract awarded to AQUILANT NORTHERN IRELAND LIMITED. The contract, valued at £311,886 gross in GBP, includes the provision of Siemens Clinitest HCT test Kit and Urinalysis Multistix, along with ancillary items and services. The procurement utilised a direct award method due to failed previous tendering efforts, and it ensures continuity of services until a longer-term regional contract is established, expected to be in place by 2028. Key dates include the contract period from 1st August 2026 to 31st October 2026, with potential for monthly renewals.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers within the medical equipment and consumable goods industry, particularly those specialising in point-of-care testing and laboratory interfacing systems. Businesses equipped with the capability to provide comprehensive solutions including consumables, software, connectivity, and quality control in healthcare settings stand to benefit. Companies like AQUILAND NORTHERN IRELAND LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise, demonstrate the potential for SMEs to thrive by partnering with large healthcare trusts. By securing a position within a high-demand sector, businesses can leverage this contract for growth and position themselves advantageously for similar future tenders or extensions.

## Notice

Clinitek Status consumables for urinalysis and urine hCG analysis * Siemens Clinitest HCT test Kit (25) * Siemens Urinalysis Multistix 8SG (100). The NHSCT require POCT Urinalysis and Urine Pregnancy test strips / cassettes, bar code scanners, associated Internal Quality Control (IQC) materials, consumables/reagents, associated connectivity requirements via CoreLIMS (WinPath Enterprise / WPE) into Encompass, software / interfaces, hardware, Implementation, training, maintenance and servicing and External Quality Assurance (EQA) to enable both Urinalysis and Urine Pregnancy testing for an initial 3 month period. The selection of alternative product would require replacement of established equipment and IT infrastructure requiring revalidation, introducing additional costs and unacceptable clinical and operational risk. The devices and consumables will be replaced with new regional PaLs compliant contract once awarded and installed which could take up to 2 years as it will be a regional contract.
