Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Golden Jubilee Board is seeking to replace its existing biochemistry analysers and associated services within its laboratories, located in Clydebank, United Kingdom (Region UKM81). The procurement falls under the medical equipment category as goods and has progressed to the award stage, set for implementation as part of a direct award process without prior competition advertisement. The award, dated 13th February 2026, will employ Roche Diagnostics Ltd as the supplier, under a contract valued at £1,933,272 GBP. The procurement is geared towards ensuring continuity in laboratory diagnostics with rapid deployment required due to the integration of a new Laboratory IT system expected to go live by the end of April 2026.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment supply, laboratory services, and healthcare logistics, particularly those with expertise in biochemistry analysers. The direct award to Roche Diagnostics Ltd was driven by unique circumstances related to aligning the supplier's technology with existing infrastructure, minimising service disruption risks, and maintaining contingency arrangements with NHS Lanarkshire. Businesses with capabilities in developing compatible laboratory technologies or supporting rapid procurement implementations could position themselves for future partnerships or subcontracting opportunities within NHS frameworks. This scenario highlights potential growth avenues for businesses aiming to become preferred suppliers in public healthcare procurement, especially those who can offer complementary products or services to large-scale entities like Roche Diagnostics Ltd.

Procurement Information

NHS Golden Jubilee Board is publishing this VEAT Notice for transparency on our intention to make a direct award to Roche Diagnostics against the NHS Supply Chain Framework - 2023/S 000-028831 Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services. Roche Diagnostics proactive climate-change mitigation programme has resulted in a three-month reduction to the existing ten-year contract, creating unavoidable time constraints that require rapid implementation. While the new equipment will require validation, appointing an alternative supplier would introduce additional complexity through interface development, system alignment, staff retraining, and extended implementation timelines, increasing the risk of service disruption. Roche Diagnostics are the supplier of the current laboratory middleware (implemented 3 years ago) and the water system supplying the analysers which are integrated within the existing laboratory infrastructure. Replacement of these additional items will not align with the current timeframe. To add further complexity the laboratory are currently implementing a new Laboratory IT system and the testing of the new system has involved communication between analyser interfaces and middleware. The system is expected to go live end of April 2026 and award of this contract to a new supplier would require mapping all of our tests through a different middleware which would also extend an already tight timeline. The current service contingency arrangement for reagent shortages is with NHS Lanarkshire, which utilises Roche platforms; selecting a non-Roche supplier would therefore compromise contingency resilience and require additional contingency planning and validation. A direct award to Roche Diagnostics represents the lowest-risk and most time-efficient option to ensure continuity, regulatory compliance, and the accurate and safe delivery of the future biochemistry service, while supporting organisational sustainability and value objectives.
