Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a platinum service contract for seven Cell Saver Elite devices. The requirement is a specialist equipment maintenance service, covering repair and maintenance of the Cell Saver Elite systems used by the Trust. The buyer is Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based on Hills Road in Cambridge. The contract concerns services rather than goods, construction or equipment supply. The awarded requirement is focused on maintaining an identified fleet of seven devices, so it is most relevant to suppliers with direct capability in Cell Saver Elite servicing, repair and technical support. Businesses whose work is limited to general healthcare facilities management, unrelated medical equipment, or equipment supply without maintenance capability are less closely aligned with this requirement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. One lot was completed. Haemonetics Limited was awarded the contract, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2027. Its value is £67,630.80 excluding VAT, or £81,156.96 including VAT. The contract is active and the service is classified as repair and maintenance. The award record identifies the requirement as relating to the single lot covering the seven Cell Saver Elite devices. The available procurement information does not state an award date or detailed evaluation criteria, so the recorded outcome is the key evidence of the selected supplier and agreed contract value.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for a managed maintenance service covering seven Cell Saver Elite devices. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable technical competence in servicing and repairing this equipment, sufficient engineering capacity to support a multi-device fleet, and the ability to provide dependable maintenance for a hospital customer. The successful supplier was Haemonetics Limited, a large specialist medical equipment company, indicating that direct product knowledge and established capability in this equipment category are commercially relevant. Suppliers with a focused Cell Saver support offer, responsive repair arrangements and experience managing planned and corrective maintenance for clinical equipment would be best placed to compete when this requirement next reaches the market.
