Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured the supply of Micro Pastettes, classified as medical consumables. This is a goods requirement for laboratory or clinical use, bought by NHS Blood and Transplant and associated with its North Bristol Park site in Filton, Bristol. The requirement concerns the provision of the specified consumable product rather than installation, maintenance or a broader healthcare service. Businesses should therefore be focused on the manufacture, wholesale supply or distribution of Micro Pastettes and related medical consumables. The purchasing organisation is NHS Blood and Transplant, whose address is 500 North Way, North Bristol Park, Filton, Bristol, BS34 7QH.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. NHS Blood and Transplant awarded the contract to Alpha Laboratories Ltd on 7 August 2026 for £105,000. The award covers the full stated requirement for Micro Pastettes. The published process identifies the procurement category as goods and the classification as medical consumables. It also records that the opportunity was not suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the contract period is one year.

This award shows established demand from NHS Blood and Transplant for Micro Pastettes as a medical consumable, supplied through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to the specified products, dependable distribution to the buyer’s Bristol-area operations and the capacity to fulfil a complete organisational requirement rather than occasional small orders. Experience supplying laboratories, hospitals or other healthcare customers would help demonstrate understanding of product handling, continuity of supply and operational reliability. Because the route used was a framework call-off, suppliers would also need to hold an appropriate place on the relevant framework and understand its call-off process. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that specialist product distributors can serve this requirement.
