Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured goods for venepuncture and blood sampling, specifically needle-free connection systems and associated products. The requirement was an NPM Tier 6 agreement intended to standardise the brand of needle-free devices. The main procurement category was goods, rather than services or works. Delivery covers the Trust’s site on Beckett Street, Leeds, as well as the United Kingdom and a broad range of overseas destinations, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore a product supply requirement for manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide needle-free devices and related products for hospital use across a wide delivery footprint.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 June 2026 to Becton Dickinson UK Ltd. The award value is £1,046,708, with the procurement’s estimated range running from £1,046,708 minimum to £1,256,049.60 maximum, all in GBP. The award covers a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. It used a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for standardised needle-free connection systems and associated venepuncture or blood-sampling products. A credible competing supplier would need a dependable range of hospital-grade medical devices, the ability to support consistent brand standardisation, and the operational capacity to fulfil a substantial healthcare supply requirement. Suppliers should also be able to work through a framework call-off route and manage delivery beyond a single hospital site, given the stated coverage across the UK and several international territories. Relevant businesses are likely to include manufacturers, authorised medical-device distributors and specialist healthcare procurement partners with robust supply chains, dependable stock management and experience supporting clinical organisations. The requirement is specifically product-led, so strengths in device quality, compatibility, continuity of supply and implementation support would be commercially relevant when this buyer next reviews its need.
