Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust procured maintenance and service provision for its i-Stat analysers, which are laboratory, optical and precision equipment used in healthcare testing. The requirement is for the Trust’s analyser estate and is associated with the Purchasing Office at the Trust Headquarters in Derby, England. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the description centres on maintenance contracts and service cover rather than the purchase of new equipment. The opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised service providers and specialist healthcare technology companies able to maintain i-Stat analysers and support their reliable operation for an NHS foundation trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Abbott Diagnostics was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026 for £22,334.70 including the stated currency of GBP. The award period is recorded as 21 July 2026 to 22 July 2026. The tender description states that the intended maintenance contract period was 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 08:29. NHS terms and conditions applied, and suppliers were required to return a statement of agreement. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, with evaluation details tied to the procurement documents and agreement requirements.

This award confirms demand from University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust for specialist support of i-Stat analysers. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in servicing, maintaining and supporting these analysers, together with the operational capacity to provide dependable cover across an NHS healthcare environment. Familiarity with manufacturer requirements, laboratory equipment service regimes, fault diagnosis, preventative maintenance and service continuity would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to work under NHS terms and conditions and complete the required agreement documentation accurately. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist provider may be well placed where it can demonstrate reliable delivery and appropriate technical capability.
