Supply, Calibration & Maintenance of Temperature Loggers

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.
