BMA celebrates 10 years in driving sustainability through medical equipment auctions

British Medical Auctions (BMA) is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, marking a decade of innovation in medical asset remarketing and sustainable equipment reuse. Today, over 65% of UK NHS Hospitals, more than 85% of NHS Ambulance Services and all major UK private healthcare groups use BMA’s services.

Since 2016, BMA has:

  • Conducted 1,100+ auctions
  • Brought more than 300,000 medical equipment lots to market
  • Returned over £100 million to healthcare providers
  • Built a network of 25,000+ registered bidders
  • Served 500+ healthcare organisations

The company’s circular-economy model has prevented more than 21,400 tonnes of equipment from being scrapped. BMA has embedded sustainability across logistics, facilities and supplier engagement. The company has been zero waste to landfill since 2020, funded the planting of more than 7,500 trees, and supported carbon avoidance initiatives preventing over 627.91 tCO2e. BMA supports NHS Net Zero and sustainability conferences and partners with suppliers to help meet 2030 net zero targets. Operationally, the business has seen:

  • 2,100% growth in monthly transaction volumes
  • A 95%+ repeat business rate
  • Buyers from 120+ countries
  • Web visitors from 190+ countries

“Healthcare sustainability is not an abstract ambition, it’s something we deliver every single day. Every asset we remarket represents both financial return and environmental responsibility. Over the past decade, we have worked closely with trusts, suppliers and buyers to create a marketplace built on integrity, transparency and measurable impact.

"We are proud to support the sector not only commercially, but also in helping achieve sustainability goals across the UK and Europe,” says Markus Grad, Founder & CEO, BMA.

A Clinical Engineer at Addenbrooke’s Hospital added: “It’s been a real pleasure working with BMA. The team is very approachable and goes above and beyond to meet our needs. Not only is it a great sustainability practice, but it has also generated well over £500k in income for my Trust.”

With continued industry engagement, European growth and sustainability leadership, BMA enters its second decade as the UK’s most established and internationally recognised medical auction provider.
