Summary of the contracting process

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust procured servicing, maintenance, UKAS calibration and temperature mapping for blood-storage equipment and laboratory refrigeration assets across BSPS sites. The requirement covers keeping these assets maintained and calibrated, and mapping their temperatures. This is a specialist technical service for suppliers working with refrigeration and blood-storage equipment in healthcare or laboratory settings. The work is classified as calibration services. Delivery is across BSPS sites; the buyer is based in Frimley, Surrey.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to NHS Supply Chain SCCL (Maintenance) on 16 October 2026. The awarded value is £92,630.10. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. The procurement was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated tender value was £77,191.75. The requirement is presented as a single service package, and SMEs were considered suitable. The reported procurement information does not set out evaluation weightings or detailed eligibility tests, so the award basis cannot be characterised further.

This award demonstrates demand from Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust for ongoing servicing, maintenance, UKAS calibration and temperature mapping of blood-storage and laboratory refrigeration assets across BSPS sites. Suppliers aiming to compete for this specific requirement when it next comes to market would need to demonstrate the technical ability to service and maintain this equipment, carry out UKAS calibration, and perform temperature mapping across multiple sites. The selection of NHS Supply Chain SCCL (Maintenance) shows that a supplier operating through the framework call-off route won this contract. SMEs were considered suitable, indicating that the requirement was not restricted to large businesses. Credibility will rest on relevant technical capability and the capacity to deliver the combined service across the Trust’s sites.
