Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is for the acquisition of "Blood & Fluid Warming Devices," including related consumables essential for warming blood and intravenous fluids before administration. This procurement falls under the "Blood and fluid warming" industry category, with a total value of £50,000. The procurement was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender phase concluded on 26th September 2025, and the contract period spans from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2027. The contract was awarded on 16th September 2025 to AirLife, with operations based in the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of medical warming devices. Companies specialising in healthcare technology and those seeking to expand their offerings to NHS Trusts would find this tender particularly advantageous. However, given the selective procurement method, businesses with existing framework agreements are best suited to compete for such contracts. This tender underscores an ongoing demand within the healthcare sector for advanced medical equipment, offering a pathway for business growth in this specialised market.
