Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) focused on providing furniture for staff sites and remote working, falling under the industry category of office furniture. The procurement targeted goods delivery to the UKK1 region, with the contract having been awarded on 17th June 2025. The process was completed under a contract award without prior publication due to specific legal standings. Although the initial tender status was cancelled, a contract worth £880,000 was actively signed with BATES OFFICE SERVICES LTD. NHSBT, a public health body based in Bristol, was the purchasing authority for this procurement stage.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that supply office furniture, particularly those familiar with public sector procurement through framework agreements, such as the RM6308. Firms that can offer competitive prices and adhere to specified requirements and legal frameworks are most suited for participating in such procurement processes. The awarding of the contract to BATES OFFICE SERVICES LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise, illustrates that smaller firms with experience in government tenders and robust logistical capabilities can successfully compete in this sector.
