Summary of the contracting process

The current procurement process is led by NHS Blood & Transplant in the UK for the supply of a Whole Blood Collection System and Ancillary Processing Systems, classified under goods and specifically labelled as "Blood bags". The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with an active contract awarded to Fresenius Kabi Limited. The contract commenced on 1st March 2018 and has recently been extended to 31st October 2023, with a total contract value of £1,000,000. This extension is mainly due to delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected the re-tendering process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical supplies sector, particularly those that specialise in blood collection and processing equipment. Companies involved in manufacturing or supplying blood bags, plasma filters, or similar products will find a conducive environment to compete for upcoming contracts, especially due to the extension of the current contract that allows time for the development of new frameworks. With the NHS's continued need for reliable suppliers during this critical time, businesses positioned to demonstrate their capability in providing these products will likely thrive.

B and /or 72.1.C of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This is because of the continuing focus of the contracting authorities on the Covid-19 crisis (which no diligent contracting authority could have foreseen) has significantly reduced the technical support for a re-tender. The length of this time has been chosen so that the replacement Framework IBP1 can be completed. The length of time of this extension is because any other interim replacement arrangement would be in place for such a short duration that it would cause significant inconvenience and/ or substantial duplication of costs; along with causing significant technical barriers such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement."
