Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant is procuring the supply of targeted cell lineage separation products. This is a goods requirement within the medical consumables category, intended for use at the organisation’s North Bristol Park site in Bristol, BS34 7QH. The requirement concerns the provision of specialist consumables used to separate targeted cell lineages, so it is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and laboratory supply businesses with an established offering in cell separation or closely related biomedical consumables. The buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant, whose Bristol operation is the identified delivery location. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 25 June 2026 at 5pm. NHS Blood and Transplant awarded the contract to Miltenyi Biotec on 23 July 2026 for £484,494 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. The award covers the targeted cell lineage separation supply requirement. The process records a single procurement category, rather than separate lots, and the tender value is £484,494. The award is active, indicating that the selected supplier has been appointed for the stated contract period.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates an NHS requirement for specialist targeted cell lineage separation consumables at a substantial, multi-year scale. A credible competitor would need reliable access to products designed for targeted cell separation, the technical knowledge to identify and supply the right consumables for laboratory or transfusion-related applications, and the operational capacity to support NHS purchasing requirements over a sustained contract. Businesses with established biomedical manufacturing or distribution capability, dependable supply chains and experience serving healthcare or laboratory customers would be best placed to compete when this buyer’s requirement is next assessed. SME suitability indicates that scale alone is not the only route to being credible; focused specialist suppliers may also be relevant.
