## Summary

South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust procured routine servicing and repairs for medical pendants, theatre light systems and examination lamps used across its facilities in Northern Ireland. The work includes maintenance in line with original equipment manufacturers’ recommendations. It covers the Trust’s equipment rather than a supply of new devices, and sits within repair and maintenance services. The buying organisation is the South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust, based in Belfast. The procurement is presented as one lot, covering the listed equipment as a combined requirement.

The process is complete and the Trust selected MET Healthcare Limited through a direct award. The stated reason was the supplier’s exclusive distribution and supply arrangements for Mindray equipment maintenance in Northern Ireland, alongside Baxter’s confirmation that MET was its sole Irish distributor for the relevant Trumpf Medical operating-room tables, accessories, surgical examination lights, pendant supply units and video solutions. The award is dated 7 October 2026. Its value is £2,390,160 excluding VAT (£2,868,192 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 September 2031, with an option to extend to 30 September 2034. The Trust intends to include the scope in a regional Northern Ireland Health and Social Care maintenance contract renewal. The reported evaluation basis is exclusive rights.

For suppliers tracking future demand from this Trust, the award shows a requirement for planned, manufacturer-recommended maintenance and responsive repair of specialist theatre and examination equipment, including pendants, theatre lights and examination lamps. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to service and repair these systems to OEM recommendations, together with access to the relevant manufacturer expertise, parts and service rights. The direct award rationale makes manufacturer authorisation or demonstrable exclusive service rights particularly significant: the successful supplier was selected on evidence of exclusive distribution and maintenance arrangements. The requirement is substantial and multi-year, so suppliers would also need capacity to maintain a portfolio of clinical equipment across the Trust’s facilities in Northern Ireland. MET Healthcare, a Belfast-based SME, was selected for this work.
