Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process under a direct award method for the reagent rental of automated light transmission aggregometry equipment, including all necessary reagents and consumables. Located in Cambridge, UK, this procurement falls under the goods category and aligns with the legal basis outlined in UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement process culminated in an award to Sysmex UK Limited, with the contract set to commence on 8th September 2025, spanning six years with an optional extension year. Suppliers had to ensure delivery in the UKH12 region, with a standstill period ending on 1st September 2025 and a future signature scheduled shortly thereafter.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Sysmex UK Limited, who specialise in laboratory equipment and reagents, particularly where unique intellectual property is involved. Companies with expertise in innovative laboratory solutions and the capacity to operate within public contracts can leverage such opportunities to grow their business by securing long-term contracts with major public health institutions. The direct award nature of this tender suggests a niche market with limited competition, offering a stable business environment for qualified suppliers.
