Tender description

NHS Blood and Transplant intends to enter into a contract with Fluke (UK) Limited for the provision of calibration, maintenance and repair services relating to NHSBT's existing Comark temperature logger estate. The supplier has been selected through a direct award under Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 on the basis that competition is absent for technical reasons. Fluke (UK) Limited is the manufacturer and technical support provider for the existing Comark product range and is the only supplier with access to the proprietary technology, software, OEM components, specialist tooling and technical data required to maintain the existing equipment in accordance with manufacturer specifications. NHSBT has determined that no reasonable alternative supplier can provide the services whilst maintaining manufacturer accreditation, calibration traceability and technical compliance requirements. ## Contract award Title: Supply, Calibration and Maintenance of Temperature Loggers ## Contract award Title: Supply, Calibration and Maintenance of Temperature Loggers

About the buyer

NHS Blood and Transplant runs the UK's blood and organ donation services, and buys as a national healthcare organisation with its own procurement team. Every tender is advertised through Atamis, the e-tendering platform used across the NHS. Much of its buying flows through framework agreements with the Crown Commercial Service, NHS Supply Chain and NHS Shared Business Services. Four internal teams commission separately, covering Operations, Information Technology, Strategic Goods and Estates and Services. Strategic Goods sources blood bags and testing equipment through collaborative agreements with Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of NHS Blood and Transplant's contract awards have been in medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, IT services and business services.
