Medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts expiring in Northern Ireland: 147 worth £297m

147 medical equipment and pharmaceuticals contracts in Northern Ireland carry a published end date, worth £297m between them. They are held across 7 buyers, and the typical one is worth £335k.

3 of them expire within twelve months, and 0 are already inside the window where the buyer would normally be shaping the replacement. That is 2% of this market back in play inside a year.

114 different suppliers hold the work, and the three largest hold 15% of it. That is a fragmented market, which usually means no single relationship is decisive and a smaller supplier can win on merit.

105 are frameworks rather than a single contract, so a large part of this market is reached by getting onto a supplier list first and competing for call-offs afterwards.

The most active buyers are Regional Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service (102), Belfast Health & Social Care Trust (36), Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (3).

The contracts here are most often held by INTERSURGICAL Ireland LIMITED (29), EBRINGTON (NI) LTD (22), Medana Healthcare Ltd (21).
