Summary of the contracting process

Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has entered into a Provider Selection Regime, awarding a contract for the supply of blood components, reagents, and services to NHS Blood and Transplant. This healthcare services procurement falls under the Health Care Services category and is located in the UK's North West region (UKD), with the award confirmed on 28th May 2025. The procurement process follows a limited procedure due to technical reasons, without prior publication of a call for competition, underlining the specialised nature and critical requirements of the services. As identified, the award process does not fall under the usual provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This contract offers unique opportunities for business growth within the healthcare sector, especially for organisations with expertise in supplying specialised health services and components where technical constraints limit competition. Large entities or those already established in the provision of blood and transplant services may find this contract particularly relevant. The focus on a single economic operator, NHS Blood and Transplant, highlights the opportunity for businesses with similar technical capabilities or innovative offerings to potentially engage with public healthcare contracts in the future.
