## Summary

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought LOVO Med cell-processing kit consumables for use with its existing LOVO analysers. The requirement covers 24 boxes of kits for hospital use in Newcastle upon Tyne. This is a supply of medical consumables, rather than equipment or a broader service contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fresenius Kabi Limited by direct award. The award was made on 25 September 2026, with a contract period from 9 October 2026 to 8 October 2027. The award value is £127,200 excluding VAT (£152,640 including VAT). The Trust relied on technical compatibility and the stated absence of competition: it considered Fresenius Kabi the only supplier able to provide consumables compatible with its existing analysers, with no reasonable alternative or substitute available. There was one lot, covering the kit supply.

For this buyer, the requirement depends on supplying LOVO Med cell-processing kits compatible with the Trust’s existing LOVO analysers. Fresenius Kabi was selected on that technical compatibility basis, so a credible competitor when this specific requirement next returns would need to demonstrate that its consumables work with the installed analysers and support their continued operation. The purchase also indicates demand for a defined, repeat supply of specialist consumables to a hospital trust.

## Notice

The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust requires the supply of LOVO Med Cell Processing Kit consumables for use with existing LOVO Analysers. The requirement comprises 24 boxes of LOVO Med Cell Processing Kits over a 12-month period.

### Procurement Information

No reasonable alternative or substitute consumables are available that would enable continued operation of the equipment.
