NHS GOLDEN JUBILEE

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Golden Jubilee, located in Clydebank (region UKM81), has completed a procurement process for the supply of biochemistry analysers, along with associated services, consumables, and reagents for laboratories. This procurement, which falls under the health industry category, follows a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was directly awarded to Roche Diagnostics Ltd, with the rationale being the need for rapid implementation due to time constraints, and the contract was signed on 13 February 2026. The procurement originated from the NHS Supply Chain Framework and aims to ensure continuity and regulatory compliance without service disruption.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses involved in laboratory diagnostics, especially those familiar with NHS contracts and frameworks. Companies specialising in laboratory equipment and related services, particularly those experienced in working with NHS frameworks or supplying similar technology, would benefit from participating in related tenders in the future. The direct award underscores the importance of maintaining existing relationships and ensuring product compatibility with ongoing projects, highlighting the potential for business growth through collaboration and innovation in healthcare infrastructure. Reduced service risks and streamlined processes make this procurement particularly attractive for large-scale suppliers capable of timely and efficient delivery.

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.
