Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust bought Prismax and Thermax equipment, including warranty, for use at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement is for medical equipment used to warm blood and fluids. The procurement is a purchase of goods rather than a service or works contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited. The award was made on 1 September 2026, with a contract period running from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The awarded value is £90,000. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The stated submission deadline was 15 August 2026. The requirement is presented as a single purchase; no lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are provided in the available process details.

For suppliers seeking to compete when West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust next buys this type of equipment, this award demonstrates demand for Prismax and Thermax systems with warranty cover. Credible competitors would need to supply blood- and fluid-warming medical equipment suitable for the Trust’s hospital use and provide warranty support as part of the purchase. The selected supplier was a large organisation operating through an NHS framework call-off, so experience supplying NHS buyers and the ability to meet framework purchasing arrangements would be commercially relevant. This is a focused equipment requirement, rather than a broad clinical service contract.
