## Summary

North East London NHS Foundation Trust commissioned domiciliary blood collection in Waltham Forest. The service collects blood samples in patients’ homes and eligible care homes when illness, disability, restricted mobility, a learning disability or reliance on non-emergency patient transport makes attendance at a community phlebotomy clinic impracticable. This is healthcare support for patients who cannot reasonably reach a clinic, with the stated aim of maintaining continuity of care and avoiding risks from delayed diagnosis. The requirement is a local home-visiting phlebotomy service, rather than general blood-bank services or clinic-based collection. Delivery is in Waltham Forest.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WF Federated GP Network Limited. It was awarded through the urgent route under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated reason was to maintain patient care: interruption could delay diagnosis and affect patient safety and care quality. The award decision placed all weight on quality and none on price, specifically addressing immediate risks to safety and care quality. The contract value is £30,000. It was signed on 23 September 2026. The procurement data records the service as one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the stated award and contract outcome is therefore the selection of this supplier.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from North East London NHS Foundation Trust, this award shows demand for community-based phlebotomy for patients who cannot reasonably attend a clinic. A credible provider would need to collect blood samples in patients’ homes and eligible care-home settings, and organise access for people affected by illness, disability, mobility restrictions, learning disability or dependence on non-emergency transport. The buyer’s stated priority was continuity of care and avoiding delayed diagnosis and patient-safety risks; quality and the ability to respond to urgent service needs were decisive, rather than price. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable local delivery and safe, patient-focused collection for people with barriers to clinic attendance. The selected provider was WF Federated GP Network Limited.
