Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply of a platelet incubator for CGH. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, classified under CPV 33100000, for delivery in England. The equipment is intended for the Trust’s clinical operations and forms part of its hospital equipment purchasing needs. The procurement was conducted by the Trust, with NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited acting as the selected supplier. The requirement concerns the provision of the incubator itself rather than installation, construction or a wider clinical service. Organisations supplying platelet storage and laboratory equipment to NHS or hospital environments would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly those able to work through NHS Supply Chain arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NHS Supply Chain Coordination Limited on 18 June 2026. The award value is £6,240, and the contract runs from 25 June 2026 to 24 June 2027. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 12:00. The recorded tender estimate shows a minimum value of £6,240 and a stated value of £0.01, while the awarded value is £6,240. The award is active. One supplier was selected for the platelet incubator supply requirement, with delivery in England.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for platelet incubation equipment at hospital level and a route to market through framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need a dependable supply of suitable medical or laboratory equipment, an understanding of platelet storage requirements and the operational standards expected in a hospital setting. Experience supplying NHS organisations or working within NHS procurement and framework arrangements would be commercially relevant. The buyer’s stated suitability position indicates that voluntary, community and social enterprises may be suitable, while small and medium-sized enterprises were not identified as suitable for this requirement. The requirement is focused and equipment-led rather than a broad service contract.
