UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board procured maintenance and support for the Haemonetics hardware and software blood transfusion systems used to operate its Blood Transfusion service. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for the systems, rather than the supply of new equipment. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement for the Health Board. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the service supporting the Health Board’s operations in Wales. This is a specialist healthcare technology maintenance requirement for suppliers able to support Haemonetics systems and the operational needs of a blood transfusion service. The procurement is categorised as services and relates to the Health Board’s single completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Haemonetics Limited was selected for the maintenance and support service. The award is valued at £200,000 excluding VAT and £250,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a maximum possible end date of 31 March 2030. The Health Board has discretion to use three annual extensions, giving the arrangement potential additional duration beyond the initial period. A contract signature milestone is scheduled for 21 September 2026. The award covers the complete single lot, and the procurement status is complete.

This opportunity is most relevant to suppliers with direct capability in maintaining and supporting Haemonetics blood transfusion hardware and software, including fault diagnosis, repair, servicing and technical support. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need to understand the systems used in a hospital blood transfusion service and provide dependable maintenance that protects clinical operations and system availability. Experience supporting specialist healthcare equipment, working within NHS or comparable clinical environments, and managing software alongside connected hardware would be commercially relevant. The incumbent’s position also shows that the buyer requires a supplier able to support a defined manufacturer technology environment rather than provide generic facilities maintenance. Businesses with established Haemonetics expertise, appropriate technical personnel and capacity to provide responsive service across the Health Board’s operations are best placed.
