Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by NHS Blood and Transplant for the "Supply of Dry Ice" has reached the award stage. This tender, integral to the industry category "Gases", invites attention from entities across various locations, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and throughout the United Kingdom. The framework agreement was conducted through a selective procurement method. Significant dates to note include the contract award date on 17th October 2025, with delivery obligations commencing on 1st November 2025 and concluding on 31st October 2027. Located at 500 North Bristol Park, Filton, the contract represents a completed status, having a total value of £1,064,912 GBP.

This tender opens up substantial business opportunities, especially for those already engaged or looking to engage in the supply of industrial gases, and specifically dry ice. Companies capable of providing consistent supply on a call-off basis from framework agreements would find this award appealing. Although not explicitly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with the capacity to scale their operations according to the framework agreement are encouraged to consider this opportunity. The contract awarded to BOC Limited, stationed in Woking, Surrey, demonstrates the successful participation of firms adept in handling selective procurement processes within the public sector.
