Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Blood and Transplant organisation has successfully completed the public procurement process for the "NHS Stem cell Donor Registry Specialist Insurance," classified under medical insurance services (CPV: 66512220). The process, initiated as a tender, culminated with an award active as of 15th December 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £600,000, is part of a call-off from a framework agreement under the selective procurement method, with service coverage extending to the United Kingdom and international locations such as the British Overseas Territories and Europe. The contract period is set from 31st December 2025 to 31st December 2029, offering long-term engagement in a specialised insurance domain.

This tender provides significant opportunities for organisations in the medical insurance services sector, especially those with expertise in comprehensive coverage solutions for niche registry needs. While the procurement is not specifically tailored for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises like WILLIS LIMITED, who are already awarded as the supplier, can leverage this opportunity for sustained business growth. Companies well-versed in global insurance policy frameworks may benefit, given the widespread geographic service delivery stipulated, affording a remarkable avenue to expand into diversified markets through the NHS's strategic health initiatives.
