## Summary

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust, located at Craigavon Area Hospital in Portadown, is the buying organisation responsible for the procurement titled "POCT Urinalysis and Urine Pregnancy testing." This tender falls within the medical equipment industry category and involves consumables and services associated with point-of-care testing (POCT) equipment. Listed under Northern Irish devolved regulations, this contract is part of an award stage with the status marked as complete, and its procurement process involved a direct award method. The procurement process expects to enhance existing systems by ensuring uninterrupted service with new equipment to be supplied by AQUILANT NORTHERN IRELAND LIMITED, the selected supplier. Notable dates include the contract start on August 1, 2026, with a potential extension for up to two years to allow for installation across multiple Trusts.
