Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured point-of-care testing equipment and associated products for use in its ambulance service. The requirement is categorised as blood-testing reagents and covers goods rather than services or works. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at Telford Way in Wakefield, Yorkshire. The procurement concerns equipment and consumable products used to perform testing close to the patient, so relevant suppliers are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist healthcare companies able to provide point-of-care testing systems together with compatible associated products. The named buyer is Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, based in Wakefield, and the requirement is focused on its operational healthcare needs.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Critical Healthcare Limited on 17 September 2026 for £140,309.52 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is complete and the award is active. It was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open competition. The opportunity was categorised as goods, with blood-testing reagents as the main classification. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust for point-of-care testing equipment and associated blood-testing products at a defined healthcare operational scale. A credible competitor for this requirement would need specialist knowledge of point-of-care diagnostics, reliable access to suitable equipment and compatible reagents, and the capacity to support an NHS ambulance service throughout a contract year. Experience supplying regulated healthcare environments, dependable distribution to the Trust’s Wakefield operation, product continuity and responsive technical support would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also understand how to compete through a framework call-off and demonstrate that their product range can meet the buyer’s complete equipment and associated-products requirement.
