Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust procured support and maintenance for the Bloodhound/Blood360 software system used within haematology. The requirement is for a medical software package and associated ongoing technical support, rather than a new laboratory equipment supply. The system supports the Trust’s haematology activities, so relevant work concerns the continued operation, upkeep and technical assistance of specialist pathology software. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at The Ridge, Saint Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust. This requirement is specifically focused on the Bloodhound/Blood360 platform and its use in haematology, making it most relevant to suppliers with direct experience of supporting clinical laboratory or pathology software systems.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the NHS Supply Chain Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services 2023 framework. The tender deadline was 31 May 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was awarded to MSoft eSolutions Limited on 22 May 2026. The awarded value is £54,885.60. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The stated estimated value range was £13,721.40 to £54,885.60. The procurement was categorised as goods and evaluated through the framework call-off process. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.

For a supplier assessing future demand from East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist support and maintenance of the Bloodhound/Blood360 system in a haematology setting. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in maintaining and supporting medical or pathology software, with a clear understanding of the operational needs of clinical laboratory services. Experience of the Bloodhound/Blood360 platform would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to provide dependable technical support throughout an NHS service environment. The procurement route also shows that access to the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework was important for this purchase. Suppliers should therefore be capable of operating through an established public-sector framework and supporting a specialist healthcare software service.
