## Summary

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust bought blood-testing reagents from Nonacus Ltd for use in its healthcare services. The requirement is for laboratory reagents used in blood testing, classified under CPV 33696200. The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service acting for multiple NHS trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull integrated care system. The contracting activity is associated with Birmingham, including the buyer’s site on Steelhouse Lane and the procuring entity’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham base. The award covered one lot and a single goods requirement, with Nonacus Ltd identified as the selected supplier.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the waiver route. Nonacus Ltd was awarded the requirement for blood-testing reagents. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and ran from 6 August 2026 to 4 September 2026. Its value was £31,042.35 excluding VAT and £37,250.82 including VAT. The contracting authority was Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, with procurement managed by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. The tender and its single lot are recorded as complete, while the contract remains active. The award was based on a direct procurement decision rather than a competitive evaluation.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the procurement provides clear evidence of NHS demand for specialist blood-testing reagents within the Birmingham and Solihull healthcare system. A credible competitor would need to supply laboratory reagents suitable for blood-testing applications and demonstrate that its products can meet the operational requirements of NHS clinical or laboratory services. It would also need the capacity to support a trust-level requirement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, which acts for multiple NHS trusts. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that established supply capability was present in this award. Relevant experience supplying diagnostic reagents to NHS or comparable healthcare laboratories would strengthen a future offer, alongside dependable fulfilment and the ability to work through a direct or competitive public procurement route.
