## Summary

The East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust has completed a direct award procurement process for "Blood Collection Products" under the tender ID C433391. This contract, awarded to Sarstedt Limited, involves the supply of blood collection consumables that are compatible with the Trust's configured analysers. The location of the procurement is Colchester, within the UKH34 region, and the procurement aligns under the goods category, specifically venepuncture and blood sampling devices. The procurement stage is complete, having been finalised on 20th March 2026, with the contract period set from 3rd April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a potential renewal up to 31st March 2028. The contract value is approximately £729,028.16, and the process was governed by the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical and laboratory consumables, particularly those capable of providing products that integrate seamlessly with existing systems in healthcare environments. The direct award method, justified on grounds of technical necessity and cost-efficiency, highlights the niche compatibility requirement, making this an ideal opportunity for firms that have the capability to provide bespoke or system-specific solutions. Large established suppliers, like Sarstedt Limited, set a precedent in this space; however, innovative companies that can meet stringent technical standards and offer competitive pricing might similarly benefit from future engagements with such public institutions. The substantial contract value indicates a promising avenue for business growth within the NHS procurement framework.
