UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust focused on the "Blood Track Service," specifically targeting the maintenance of blood tracking kiosks across the hospital in Poole, United Kingdom. Categorised under pathology services, this contract falls under the services industry. The procurement method employed was a direct approach and is classified as below threshold without competition due to its status. As of 30th July 2026, the procurement stage was at the award phase, with the contracting period scheduled from 1st September 2026 to 30th June 2027. The milestone set for the future signature of this award was scheduled for 28th August 2026. The Trust is a central government public authority, and it works within the legislative framework of the UK's Public General Acts.

This tender provides opportunities for enterprises engaged in pathology and medical services, particularly those dealing with technological maintenance and support systems, to establish long-term relationships with a notable public healthcare authority like University Hospitals Dorset. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those specialising in non-competitive direct award projects, could benefit significantly from this arrangement. Suppliers with expertise in the medical field, specifically in the domain of pathology services, would find this an excellent opportunity to expand their portfolio by providing critical maintenance services, thereby establishing a reliable revenue stream while enhancing their credibility within the healthcare sector.
