Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, acting as the buyer, initiated a procurement process for a Cold Storage Temperature Monitoring System intended for use in Pathology, Mortuary, Catering, and Pharmacy departments. The procurement was under the open procedure within the services category and targeted the UK region of Bury St Edmunds. Originally published on 19th June 2025, the tender had provisions for electronic submissions until the closing date of 24th July 2025. Despite reaching the award stage on 15th October 2025, the process was later terminated due to identified irregularities in the award decision-making process, as announced on 3rd November 2025.

This tender, although now cancelled, highlights potential opportunities for businesses operating in the field of monitoring and control services, particularly those capable of delivering complex solutions across multiple departments in healthcare settings. Companies specialising in temperature monitoring systems, including SME and VCSE organisations, would have found this contract appealing due to its significant scope and value, approximated at £266,400 gross. Future opportunities of a similar nature may offer significant business growth potential, especially for those with expertise in integrated healthcare solutions.
