This process, under an active status, focuses on services within the category of environmental monitoring not related to construction. It includes two lots: maintenance of existing systems and the purchase and upgrade of new systems. With a combined estimated contract value of £9.6 million (inclusive of VAT), the procurement method involves a competitive flexible procedure with a framework agreement. Key dates include the enquiry period ending on 23rd June 2026, submission deadline on 8th July 2026, and award announcements by 18th September 2026. The contracting period is set to begin on 1st October 2026 through 30th September 2030. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in scalable and resilient environmental monitoring solutions. The framework agreement allows for direct awards to pre-qualified suppliers, suggesting an advantageous position for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Suppliers with expertise in providing flexible and future-proof systems that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructures across diverse and large-scale medical environments are particularly well-suited to compete. Given the critical nature of these systems for ensuring compliance and safety within NHSBT facilities, the tender can serve as a growth lever for companies with innovative monitoring technologies tailored for healthcare settings. ## Notice Lot 1: Maintenance of Environmental Monitoring System Lot 2: Purchase of New & Upgrade to Existing Environmental Monitoring System ### Lot Information Lot 1 - Maintenance of Existing Environmental Monitoring Systems NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) seeks to award a framework agreement for the maintenance, support and calibration of existing Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS) deployed across various sites. The EMS infrastructure is critical to ensuring the safe, compliant and continuous monitoring of controlled environments, equipment and storage facilities across NHSBT sites, including laboratories, cleanrooms, blood centres, storage facilities and specialist processing areas. These systems monitor a wide range of environmental and operational parameters, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, differential pressure, particle counts, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and equipment status. EMS installations vary in scale and complexity, ranging from approximately 50 to over 1,000 monitoring points per site, requiring a robust, scalable and resilient maintenance service capable of supporting large, distributed infrastructures. Lot 2 - Upgrade & Purchase of New Environmental Monitoring Systems NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is seeking to aaward a framework agreement for the upgrade, enhancement and supply of new Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS) across various sites. EMS solutions are critical to maintaining safe, compliant and continuously monitored environments across NHSBT facilities, including laboratories, cleanrooms, processing areas and storage environments. These systems are required to support the monitoring, recording and reporting of a wide range of environmental and operational parameters, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, differential pressure, particle counts, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and equipment or plant status. NHSBT operates a diverse estate with system installations ranging from approximately 50 to over 1,000 monitoring points per site. Suppliers must therefore provide scalable, flexible and future-proof solutions capable of supporting complex, multi-site deployments and integration with existing infrastructure. ### Planning Information Supplier Engagment Sessions will be held in November 2025. The format of these sessions will be shared at a later date. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053553-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | 1 Feb 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2026 - 30 Sep 2030 | | Recurrence | 2026-09-18 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £8,000,000 | | Lots value | £8,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS BLOOD AND TRANSPLANT | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 7QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Filton | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90711500 - Environmental monitoring other than for construction ## Release History - 5 Jun 2026 at 16:38 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053553-2026 - 5 Jun 2026 at 16:34 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053551-2026 - 3 Oct 2025 at 10:21 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062058-2025 - 22 May 2025 at 15:38 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025274-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053553-2026 5th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053551-2026 5th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/062058-2025 3rd October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025274-2025 22nd May 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
