Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process, initiated by East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, concerns the maintenance of blood kiosks under the tender title "ESNEFT3089M Blood Kiosk Maintenance." Located at Colchester District General Hospital, Colchester, the organisation functioned as the buying authority. Classified under the public authority central government, this contract pertains to the services industry category, focusing on repair and maintenance services of medical and surgical equipment. The process employed a direct award procurement method, with the contract awarded to Haemonetics Limited. The procurement status is complete, with key dates including the award date on 6th July 2026 and the standstill period ending on 21st July 2026. The contract period spans from 1st November 2026 to 31st October 2031.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare equipment maintenance, particularly those aligned with medical kiosks. The procurement, justified by technical compatibility and existing supplier relations, is ideal for businesses offering niche technical support and maintenance services linked to original equipment manufacturers. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in medical and surgical equipment maintenance, especially those already operating in regions like Coventry where Haemonetics Limited is based, could leverage this type of tender to cement long-term relationships with public health organisations.
