## Summary

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured routine servicing and repair of its Ultima equipment, with maintenance carried out in line with the original equipment manufacturer's recommendations. The requirement is for repair and maintenance services covering equipment used by the Trust in Belfast. The equipment forms part of the MGC Diagnostics range, including the Ultima Series and associated products. The buyer is Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, based at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. The procurement covered one service requirement rather than separate publicly described work packages. The scope is specialist equipment maintenance, so relevant businesses are those supporting clinical, respiratory, physiological or other technical healthcare equipment, particularly where manufacturer-approved servicing and repair capability is required.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to MEDICAL GRAPHICS UK LTD, which was selected as the supplier. The award was dated 7 September 2026 and has a value of £557,000 excluding VAT (£668,400 including VAT). The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2031, with an extension provision to 30 April 2036 in six-month steps. The award notice records a scheduled contract signature date of 18 September 2026, with the standstill period ending on 17 September 2026. The direct award was justified on exclusive rights: Medical Graphics UK Ltd was confirmed as the sole approved UK and Ireland distribution and servicing channel for MGC Diagnostics equipment, including the Ultima range. The tender was above the applicable threshold.

This procurement shows established demand from Belfast Health & Social Care Trust for planned and reactive maintenance of specialist MGC Diagnostics equipment. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical competence in servicing and repairing Ultima and related MGC Diagnostics systems, together with access to manufacturer-approved parts, service information and technical support. The incumbent was the manufacturer and sole approved distribution and servicing channel for the UK and Ireland, making manufacturer authorisation or an equivalent legally defensible route particularly important. Businesses should also be able to deliver routine maintenance in accordance with original equipment manufacturer recommendations, manage repairs reliably across a healthcare environment and support equipment used by a major health and social care trust. Relevant experience with clinical, respiratory or physiological systems would strengthen a competing proposition.
