Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured the continued supply of spare parts and related renal dialysis consumables for Fresenius 5008 dialysis machines used by its outpatient haemodialysis services. The requirement supports the safe and effective operation of installed equipment and continuity of patient care. This is a goods procurement centred on manufacturer-specific replacement parts for clinical dialysis equipment, rather than a wider equipment maintenance or clinical service contract. The buyer is based at Bradford Royal Infirmary, and the supplied parts support haemodialysis services delivered by the Trust in Bradford. Businesses relevant to this requirement are suppliers able to provide compatible Fresenius 5008 spare parts and consumables for NHS outpatient dialysis operations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE (UK) LIMITED on 27 March 2026. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a waiver arrangement. The contract was signed on 27 March 2026 and runs from 28 March 2026 to 27 March 2028. Its value is £75,493 excluding VAT and £90,592 including VAT. One completed lot covered the requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The process therefore records a completed, manufacturer-specific purchase rather than an open competitive tender, with the selected supplier providing the required dialysis spare parts and consumables.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for ongoing access to spare parts supporting Fresenius 5008 haemodialysis machines. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to compatible manufacturer-specific parts and renal dialysis consumables, together with the operational capacity to support installed equipment throughout a hospital Trust’s outpatient haemodialysis service. Relevant experience would include supplying clinical consumables for dialysis equipment, maintaining reliable stock and fulfilment arrangements, and understanding the need for safe, effective equipment operation and continuity of patient care. The incumbent is a large specialist medical-care supplier, so competing businesses would need comparable product knowledge, supply-chain reliability and capability to serve Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
