Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured laboratory equipment for blood sciences in the NSECH decant building. The requirement sits within laboratory and diagnostic equipment supply and concerns equipment rather than laboratory services. The procurement description also places it under the NHS Supply Chain Lab Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Managed Services framework. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more precise delivery location is identified in the procurement data.

The procurement is complete and awarded. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 29 September 2026. Wolf Laboratories Limited was selected on 30 September 2026 for £46,835.10. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender was categorised as goods and the award is active. The procurement data does not set out a separate evaluation formula or named award criteria, so the basis for choosing the supplier beyond the framework call-off route is not stated.

This award shows Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management buying laboratory equipment for blood sciences in a decant building through the NHS Supply Chain laboratory diagnostics and point-of-care testing framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply suitable laboratory equipment and be able to compete through the relevant framework call-off route. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that an SME supplied this requirement; the tender was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement is a discrete equipment supply rather than a broader managed-services contract, despite the framework’s wider title. Suppliers whose offer is specifically aligned with blood sciences laboratory equipment would be best placed to pursue comparable demand from this buyer.‌
