## Summary

Western Health & Social Care Trust procured routine servicing and maintenance of theatre light and examination light systems used throughout its healthcare facilities. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for these clinical lighting systems across the Trust’s estate in Northern Ireland. It is a services contract managed by the Trust, based at Altnagelvin Area Hospital in Londonderry. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work is focused on keeping theatre and examination lighting systems operational through planned routine servicing and maintenance, rather than supplying general healthcare equipment or undertaking wider hospital facilities management.

This procurement has reached the award stage and the selected supplier is MET HEALTHCARE LIMITED. The Trust made a direct award, relying on the fact that the relevant equipment had been included in a previous regional maintenance tender but received no award because of an incorrect submission by the Northern Ireland original equipment manufacturer supplier, and the supplier was not part of a framework. The award date was 11 September 2026. The awarded value is £902,740.57 excluding VAT, or £1,083,288.68 including VAT. The contract period is 6 November 2026 to 5 November 2034, with an option to extend by two 12-month periods to 5 November 2036. Contract signature was scheduled for 4 November 2026.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the award demonstrates a substantial, long-term requirement for specialist maintenance of theatre and examination light systems in Northern Ireland’s health and social care environment. A credible competitor would need practical capability in routine servicing, fault diagnosis, repair and ongoing maintenance of clinical lighting equipment used in operating theatres and examination areas. Experience of working safely in healthcare facilities, maintaining equipment availability and coordinating planned visits around clinical operations would be commercially relevant. The direct-award rationale also shows the importance of original equipment manufacturer knowledge or demonstrable competence with the systems concerned, together with the ability to respond where regional framework routes do not provide an awarded supplier. The requirement is suitable for an SME with the relevant technical capacity and healthcare service experience.
