Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust bought a full-service maintenance contract for its apheresis machines, used in adult and children’s haematology. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, including servicing the purchased machines so they remain operational for clinical use. The work is for the Trust’s facilities in Nottingham, within the United Kingdom. The buyer is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, an NHS public authority. The contract concerns one service requirement and was treated as a single lot. The selected supplier, Terumo BCT Ltd, is based in Larne, Northern Ireland, and is a large business specialising in equipment associated with apheresis and related medical technologies.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust awarded the contract to Terumo BCT Ltd on 24 June 2026. The awarded and signed contract value is £50,301 excluding VAT, or £60,361.20 including VAT. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 24 September 2028. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used one lot for maintenance of the apheresis machines. The award was made on the basis of a direct, non-competitive procedure rather than a tender evaluation involving competing bids.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist, full-service maintenance of apheresis machines supporting adult and paediatric haematology. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability to repair, service and maintain medical and surgical equipment, with particular technical knowledge of apheresis machines and their clinical operating environment. Relevant suppliers would need sufficient engineering capacity to provide ongoing planned and responsive maintenance, understand the reliability and safety demands of equipment used in haematology, and support both adult and children’s services. Experience working with NHS trusts or comparable healthcare providers, strong manufacturer or product-specific competence, and the ability to deliver service in Nottingham would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
