## Summary

Southern Health and Social Care Trust procured maintenance services for medical equipment used in its health and social care facilities: pendants, theatre lighting systems, examination lamps and theatre sliding doors. The requirement covers ongoing maintenance of these equipment types, rather than the supply of new equipment. The contract is associated with delivery in Northern Ireland. The equipment portfolio includes Mindray and Trumpf Medical products, including operating room tables and accessories, surgical examination lights, pendant supply units and video solutions. This is specialist maintenance work for suppliers serving healthcare settings, with relevance to firms experienced in maintaining operating theatre and examination-room equipment.

The procurement is complete and MET Healthcare Limited was selected for the contract. The Trust used a direct award, citing the supplier’s exclusive rights to maintain Mindray equipment in Northern Ireland and its sole Irish distribution role for Baxter’s Trumpf Medical operating room tables, accessories, surgical examination lights, pendant supply units and video solutions. The award was dated 24 September 2026. Its value is £2.3 million excluding VAT (£2.76 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with provision for extensions in six-month steps to 31 March 2036, to allow completion of a regional re-tender or in the event of no award. One lot covered the requirement.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Trust, this award demonstrates demand for planned maintenance across a varied portfolio of specialist theatre and examination equipment. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to service pendants, theatre lighting, examination lamps and theatre sliding doors, and to support equipment from manufacturers such as Mindray and Baxter’s Trumpf Medical range. The stated justification shows that manufacturer distribution and maintenance rights can be decisive: the selected supplier was able to evidence exclusive rights for Mindray maintenance in Northern Ireland and a sole Irish distribution relationship for the Baxter product portfolios. Suppliers without equivalent manufacturer authorisation or demonstrable access to proprietary equipment knowledge may find this type of requirement difficult to compete for.
