Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust, a central government public authority located at the City Campus, Hucknall Road in Nottingham, serves as the buyer for the procurement of a Standard Care Pack Service Contract for Blood Gas Analysers. The procurement process for this contract was conducted via a direct award due to technical and proprietary requirements, mandating the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as the sole service provider. The contract, valued at approximately £116,174, was awarded to Radiometer Limited, a large-scale supplier based in West Sussex. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2025 and concluded on 31st March 2026. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically aimed at the repair and maintenance services of medical equipment.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment servicing, particularly those with capabilities in handling proprietary technologies similar to blood gas analysers. While the contract itself was awarded through a direct award process due to the unique technical specifications, similar future opportunities could present avenues for businesses experienced in niche medical technology services to explore collaborations or service offerings that align with OEM requirements. Businesses focusing on enhancing their technical expertise in medical equipment may find potential for growth in pursuing related procurement processes within NHS Trusts or similar public health organisations.
