Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust procured a blood track service for the maintenance of blood tracking kiosks across its hospitals. The requirement is a healthcare support service associated with pathology operations, covering the upkeep and continued functioning of the Trust’s blood tracking equipment. The work is delivered across University Hospitals Dorset, with the buyer based at Poole Hospital in Poole. The appointed service provider is Haemonetics Ltd, a Coventry-based supplier specialising in blood management and tracking technology. This opportunity is relevant to businesses providing maintenance, technical support or managed services for blood tracking systems used in NHS pathology and hospital environments, particularly suppliers able to support equipment across more than one hospital site.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. It comprised one lot. The award was recorded on 30 July 2026 to Haemonetics Ltd for £48,998 excluding VAT, or £58,798 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. A contract signature was scheduled for 28 August 2026. The service was evaluated as a pathology-related service requirement. The award covers the supply of the Blood Track Service and is associated with the maintenance of the Trust’s blood tracking kiosks. Haemonetics Ltd is the selected supplier for the complete requirement, rather than one of several separately awarded lots.

This award shows that University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust buys specialist support for blood tracking kiosks as part of its pathology and hospital operations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in maintaining blood tracking or comparable clinical traceability systems, with the technical expertise to keep kiosk hardware and associated service functions reliable. Relevant suppliers should understand NHS healthcare environments, blood handling workflows, pathology service needs and the operational importance of accurate, continuous tracking. The requirement also favours providers able to support equipment across multiple hospital sites, manage planned and responsive maintenance, and provide dependable technical assistance. Experience with Haemonetics Blood Track technology or equivalent systems would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next tests the market.
