Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Bromley procured a point-of-care testing service to support NHS Health Checks in Bromley. The supplier provides testing equipment, consumables and training for cholesterol and HbA1c (diabetes) blood tests. The requirement combines medical equipment, pharmaceutical and personal care products with health and social care services. The service supports the testing element of NHS Health Checks, including equipment provision, ongoing consumables supply, user training and quality assurance. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Relevant organisations include specialist point-of-care testing providers, medical equipment suppliers, pharmaceutical businesses and health service operators able to support NHS Health Check delivery in the London Borough of Bromley.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open competitive flexible procedure. Three bids reached the final stage. The contract was awarded to BHR Pharmaceuticals Limited on 12 February 2026 for £650,000 excluding VAT (£780,000 including VAT). The contract was signed and began on 13 August 2026, running to 31 March 2034, with a possible extension to 31 March 2036 at the Council’s discretion, subject to service requirements, budget and performance. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%, including equipment, transition and delivery, governance and data protection, training and support, consumables, quality assurance and a practical demonstration. Participation required sufficient financial standing, relevant experience and scientific evidence of device accuracy.

This award demonstrates sustained local demand for a managed point-of-care testing service supporting NHS Health Checks, rather than a one-off equipment purchase. A credible future competitor would need to supply reliable cholesterol and HbA1c testing equipment, maintain efficient consumables logistics and train all equipment users, including refresher training with accurate records. Strong quality assurance arrangements aligned with MHRA requirements, regular performance reporting and effective governance, data management and data protection would be important. Providers should also be able to demonstrate relevant contract experience and scientific evidence for the accuracy of their point-of-care devices. The requirement was open to SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist providers with the necessary operational, technical and financial capability may be well placed.
