| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust |
| Main Category: | Goods |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | A proportionate market review, supported by NHS Supply Chain, confirmed that alternative suppliers would be significantly more expensive and would create technical incompatibility with the Trust’s existing analysers and automation systems, which are validated specifically for Sarstedt consumables. Switching suppliers would require revalidation, workflow changes, system reconfiguration, and staff retraining, resulting in substantial operational disruption and disproportionate additional cost. The Trust therefore considers that only Sarstedt can provide the required consumables without causing technical incompatibility or excessive cost, and the direct award is justified under Schedule 5, Paragraph 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 |
| Tender Status: | Closed |
| Estimated Value (ex. VAT): | Not specified |
