Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant has procured a computer-aided facilities management system, including the software licence and ongoing support and maintenance services. This is a facilities-management software and support requirement, rather than a procurement of general IT equipment. The buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant, based in Bristol. The recorded delivery location is BS34 7QH in the United Kingdom. The system is intended to provide the software and associated services needed for the buyer’s facilities management. The procurement is categorised as services, and small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to take part.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Tabs FM Limited. The award date was 28 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The awarded contract value is £424,800. The original estimated value range was £93,600 to £424,800. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The response deadline was 4 September 2026 at noon. The published procurement information does not set out specific evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described further. No lots are recorded; the requirement is presented as one system and its associated licence, support and maintenance services.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates NHS Blood and Transplant’s demand for a computer-aided facilities management system delivered with licensing, support and maintenance, procured through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to offer a suitable facilities-management software product and the capability to support and maintain it throughout the contract. The buyer considered SMEs suitable, indicating that smaller specialist providers could compete through the relevant framework route. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their software meets the buyer’s facilities-management needs and that they can provide dependable ongoing service, rather than software alone. The successful supplier’s award provides evidence of a buyer requirement for an integrated system-and-service offer; the procurement does not identify particular technical standards or accreditations as selection requirements.
