UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust bought a Hemochron 100 whole blood haemostasis analyser, described as a blood analyser and blood analysis machine. This is a medical device used for whole blood haemostasis testing. The purchasing organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Kent. The awarded item is classified as a miscellaneous medical device or product and is for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns the supply of the analyser itself rather than a broader equipment, maintenance or laboratory services package. The buyer’s named purchase order relates specifically to this analyser, making the opportunity relevant to medical-device manufacturers, specialist diagnostic equipment suppliers and authorised distributors with access to the specified Hemochron 100 product.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Medway NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. One lot was awarded to Werfen Limited, an SME, for £16,984.51 including VAT. The award is active and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 13 August 2026, indicating a single-day purchase rather than a multi-year service arrangement. The contract is for the blood analysis machine and is below threshold. The available procurement record identifies the specified product and supplier outcome, but does not set out a competitive evaluation exercise or scored award criteria because the contract was placed directly without competition.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers targeting NHS pathology, haematology and diagnostic equipment requirements. The buyer’s demand is for a specific whole blood haemostasis analyser, so credible future competitors would need to supply the Hemochron 100 itself or an accepted equivalent that meets the buyer’s technical and clinical requirements. Relevant businesses are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide this type of analyser through a straightforward product purchase. The modest, single-equipment scale favours suppliers with established access to the product, dependable UK distribution and the ability to process a direct, below-threshold NHS order efficiently. Werfen Limited’s selection also shows that a specialist SME supplier can secure this type of requirement without a full competitive procedure.
