What is being bought
The blood gas service at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHNHSFT) is integral to the delivery of point-of-care testing (POCT) diagnostics, supporting rapid clinical decision-making at or near the patient bedside. This service underpins multidisciplinary teams across a range of acute and specialist care environments within the Trust’s two main acute hospitals: Gloucestershire Royal Hospital (GRH) and Cheltenham General Hospital (CGH). Currently, the blood gas service supports approximately 100,000 near-patient test episodes annually, with activity distributed across both hospital sites. The core requirement is the supply and maintenance of point-of-care (POC) blood gas analysers and all associated consumables for use in clinical settings such as hospitals, intensive care units, and emergency departments. Emphasis is placed on robust, user-friendly devices that minimise manual intervention, have a compact footprint, and offer full connectivity with hospital IT systems.
