Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Golden Jubilee has completed a procurement process involving the purchase of Biochemistry Analysers, along with associated services, consumables, and reagents for laboratories, under the category of health services. The procurement was based in Clydebank, UK, specifically in the region of UKM81. This process reached the award stage on 13th February 2026, with Roche Diagnostics Ltd being the chosen supplier. The procurement method was limited, involving a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily for reasons of maintaining continuity, efficiency, and reducing service disruption risks during the implementation of new laboratory IT systems. The anticipated completion for system implementation is set for the end of April 2026.

This tender represents significant opportunities for large firms with expertise in supplying biochemistry laboratory equipment and associated services, particularly those who can navigate complex integrations and mitigate climate-related operational disruptions. Given Roche Diagnostics Ltd's existing role in supporting the laboratory infrastructure and frameworks within NHS Supply Chain, this contract aligns with strategic objectives aimed at enhancing operational resilience and sustainable business practices. Businesses equipped with complementary technologies or services for laboratory analysis and diagnostics may find avenues for collaboration and further participatory supply chain integration, particularly in services relating to laboratory middleware systems and reagents management.

Lot Information

Lot 1

There is a requirement to replace the existing Biochemistry Analysers within Laboratories, along with associated service, consumables and reagents.

Procurement Information

NHS Golden Jubilee Board is publishing this VEAT Notice for transparency on our intention to make a direct award to Roche Diagnostics against the NHS Supply Chain Framework - 2023/S 000-028831 Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology Managed Services. Roche Diagnostics proactive climate-change mitigation programme has resulted in a three-month reduction to the existing ten-year contract, creating unavoidable time constraints that require rapid implementation. While the new equipment will require validation, appointing an alternative supplier would introduce additional complexity through interface development, system alignment, staff retraining, and extended implementation timelines, increasing the risk of service disruption. Roche Diagnostics are the supplier of the current laboratory middleware (implemented 3 years ago) and the water system supplying the analysers which are integrated within the existing laboratory infrastructure. Replacement of these additional items will not align with the current timeframe. To add further complexity the laboratory are currently implementing a new Laboratory IT system and the testing of the new system has involved communication between analyser interfaces and middleware. The system is expected to go live end of April 2026 and award of this contract to a new supplier would require mapping all of our tests through a different middleware which would also extend an already tight timeline. The current service contingency arrangement for reagent shortages is with NHS Lanarkshire, which utilises Roche platforms; selecting a non-Roche supplier would therefore compromise contingency resilience and require additional contingency planning and validation. A direct award to Roche Diagnostics represents the lowest-risk and most time-efficient option to ensure continuity, regulatory compliance, and the accurate and safe delivery of the future biochemistry service, while supporting organisational sustainability and value objectives.
