Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust bought consumables for its parathyroid hormone (PTH) analyser equipment. This is a medical laboratory supplies requirement: materials used with PTH analysers to support testing, rather than the purchase of analyser equipment itself. Delivery covers locations across England. The requirement is a single supply package, rather than a set of separately described product lots. The trust is the buying organisation and the contract is for goods. The stated purpose is to provide consumables for PTH analyser equipment; no further product breakdown or testing workflow is described.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to NBCL BV. The trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 October 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The award covers the single lot, with no separate award values reported. The process records no evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the stated basis for selection cannot be described beyond the direct, non-competitive route.

For suppliers considering similar NHS laboratory supply work, this award shows demand for consumables compatible with parathyroid hormone analysers, with delivery across England. A credible competitor would need to supply the required analyser consumables reliably and demonstrate that its products work with the equipment in use. The awarded supplier is a Netherlands-based small or medium-sized business, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by an overseas SME; this does not establish a formal size or location preference. The direct award was made without competition, so there is no published competitive scoring model to replicate. Suppliers with relevant product expertise, dependable supply capability and experience serving healthcare laboratory requirements would be best placed to respond if this buyer purchases the same consumables again.
