Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a procurement process for the supply of tissue and ocular products, with the contract awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement falls under the industry category of hospital and related services and pertains to the service delivery of tissue and ocular products. The contract spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027. Located in Great Yarmouth, the buying organisation has identified NHS Blood and Transplant as the sole supplier capable of meeting this specific requirement. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract signed on 20th October 2025, following a limited procurement method where no prior publication of a call for competition occurred.

This tender presents distinctive opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of providing highly specialised medical supplies where competition is limited. Due to the technical specificity of the contract — involving human tissue — it has been identified that NHS Blood and Transplant is the preferred provider, given the absence of alternative providers. This procurement activity showcases a niche market opportunity, which may interest large-scale suppliers capable of offering specialised health-related services, thereby potentially facilitating partnerships or contracts in similarly specialised areas. Business growth can be enhanced by aligning with procurement needs within the healthcare sector, particularly in regions such as UKH14 and UKH15, where these services are sought.
