## Summary

The NHS Blood and Transplant organisation has completed a procurement process under the framework agreement for the supply and support of sterile connection devices. This process, initiated through an open and competitive flexible procedure, involves the procurement of new SCDs, including their maintenance and servicing. This procurement has reached the award stage as of May 2026, following tenders initiated in September 2025 and concluded by December 2025. The procurement covers a range of regions in the UK and was open to a wide pool of suppliers, fostering diversity in business engagement. The framework is set to run until March 2028, with potential extensions available. The procurement relates to the medical industry, specifically focusing on medical equipment and related maintenance services.

This tender creates significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in medical equipment manufacturing and maintenance. Large firms like Terumo BCT Europe NV have been successful in securing a place within the framework, alongside smaller enterprises such as Macopharma UK Ltd and Technopath Distribution Ltd, highlighting the tender's accessibility to both large and small enterprises. Businesses offering innovative solutions in sterile device production and comprehensive maintenance services stand to benefit from collaborations with NHS Blood and Transplant and other UK Blood Services, with substantial contracts and further competition under the framework agreement available within this regulated sector.
