Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves NHS Blood & Transplant, which is based in Filton, Bristol, and is seeking support services for their existing Fluovista genotyping equipment. This tender, titled "Support of existing genotyping equipment," falls under the category of repair and maintenance services for medical and precision equipment. The procurement was initiated using a limited method and involved a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract period began on 11th June 2019 and is set to conclude on 10th June 2023, with the total contract value amounting to £160,000. The tender process concluded on 4th December 2017, ultimately awarding the contract to IBG Immucor Ltd.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in the maintenance and supply of medical equipment, particularly those experienced in providing services for genomics and biotechnology. Given the current market limitations, this contract potentially creates avenues for growth for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative solutions or alternative suppliers capable of meeting NHSBT's requirements. Firms with capabilities in equipment maintenance, consumables supply, and related technical support would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Support of existing genotyping equipment

Notice Description

NHSBT has a requirement for maintenance and consumables for the Fluovista genotyping platform. The platforms are in use in RCI laboratories for low throughput, rapid determination of red cell markers by molecular means. The supply of maintenance and consumables are needed to meet the current and future needs of NHSBT, in a cost effective manner. NHSBT has published a VEAT in November 2017 under OJEU Reference: 2017/S 213-443902. During the pre-engagement it became apparent that the market is currently limited to one supplier only that is able to meet NHSBT's requirements for this tender. Therefore NHSBT decided to award a 4 year contract for the support of existing Fluovista genotyping platforms to Immucor.
