Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant commissioned maintenance of existing environmental monitoring systems, classified as environmental monitoring services other than for construction (CPV 90711500). The requirement covers Lot 1 and is intended to maintain established monitoring systems rather than procure new construction works or general facilities services. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s site at North Bristol Park, Filton, Bristol, BS34 7QH, within the United Kingdom. This is a specialist technical services opportunity for businesses able to support environmental monitoring equipment and systems in an NHS operational setting. The procurement is categorised as services and concerns the buyer’s own environmental monitoring infrastructure.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 31 August 2026 at 12:00. NHS Blood and Transplant awarded the contract to Pharmagraph, a division of Acquisition Systems Ltd, on 21 September 2026. The awarded value is £104,374. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and relates to a single environmental monitoring maintenance requirement. The reported award value matches the estimated tender value.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for maintaining existing environmental monitoring systems through a framework call-off, giving relevant suppliers a clear example of the buyer’s purchasing route and technical need. Businesses well placed for similar work would be specialist environmental monitoring and controls providers with practical experience servicing installed systems, diagnosing faults, maintaining reliable measurements and supporting continuity in an NHS environment. Credibility would come from evidence of comparable maintenance contracts, suitably qualified engineers, responsive technical support and the capacity to deliver focused work at the buyer’s Bristol-area site. SMEs are explicitly considered suitable, so a smaller specialist provider with the right systems expertise and operational resilience could compete effectively when a comparable requirement returns.
