Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured support for its Bloodtrack software, a specialist system used in pathology services. The requirement is for software support rather than the supply of general pathology services. Delivery is associated with West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. This is a focused healthcare technology requirement for suppliers able to support the Trust’s Bloodtrack installation and the related operational needs of pathology. The procurement was managed by West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, which is also the buyer. The published item information identifies the hospital postcode and the United Kingdom, while the Trust’s address identifies Bury St Edmunds as the relevant place.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Haemonetics Limited. The award was made on 28 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its awarded value is £48,257.50; the earlier estimated procurement value was £20,651.70. The Trust used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated submission deadline was 16 September 2026 at 12 noon. The available procurement information identifies no lot structure or evaluation criteria, so the award basis cannot be described further. The result records one successful supplier, Haemonetics Limited, for the Bloodtrack software support requirement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust’s demand for continued support of its Bloodtrack pathology software. A credible competitor when this same requirement returns would need demonstrable capability to support the relevant software in a hospital pathology setting, maintain continuity for clinical operations, and deliver a sustained service over a multi-year term. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, while the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; those signals suggest that a future competitor should assess the Trust’s participation requirements carefully rather than assume the opportunity is suitable for a smaller provider. The route used was a framework call-off, so access to an appropriate framework is likely to be commercially important for suppliers targeting this specific requirement.
