UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured reagents for the Sebia Capillaries Flex2 haematology system at its Birmingham Women’s Hospital site. The requirement is for laboratory consumables used with this specific haematology equipment, rather than general medical supplies. The trust is the buyer, with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managing the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared service supporting multiple NHS trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull integrated care system. The procurement is categorised as goods. The relevant product classification is reagents and contrast media (CPV 33696000). Delivery and use are associated with the Birmingham Women’s Hospital site in Birmingham.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly, without competition, under a below-threshold waiver. Sebia UK Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 31 March 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its value is £27,071.09 excluding VAT, or £32,485.31 including VAT. The award and contract cover the reagents requirement for the Sebia Capillaries Flex2 haematology system. The recorded evaluation route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender, so the outcome reflects the buyer’s decision to procure from the named specialist supplier without inviting competing bids.

This award indicates recurring NHS demand for specialist reagents tied to the Sebia Capillaries Flex2 haematology system at Birmingham Women’s Hospital. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need dependable access to compatible Sebia consumables, technical understanding of the associated laboratory equipment and the ability to maintain supply for clinical testing. Credibility would also depend on working effectively with NHS procurement and laboratory teams, handling product specifications accurately and providing reliable ordering, delivery and replenishment arrangements. The incumbent supplier is a large specialist UK business, suggesting that product compatibility and established manufacturer or authorised-distributor capability are important competitive factors for businesses seeking comparable work with this buyer.
