Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) is seeking to procure temperature mapping kits, essential for ensuring compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Blood Safety and Quality Regulations. This procurement, classified under goods and specifically related to temperature or humidity surface observing apparatus, is currently in the award stage following the completion of an open tender process. Key dates include the contract signing on 22nd February 2022 and an anticipated total contract value of £88,200. The requirement is based in Edinburgh, UK, reflecting the need for stringent environmental monitoring within health sector operations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the procurement of healthcare-related equipment, especially those specialising in monitoring technology. Companies that can provide robust temperature mapping solutions, including software capable of statistical analysis and reporting, would be well-positioned to compete. Given SNBTS's requirement for over 400 mapping events annually and the potential for contract extension, successful bidders could establish a long-term partnership, enhancing growth opportunities within the healthcare supply chain.

SNBTS requires to procure temperature mapping kits to allow temperature controlled environments to be mapped in line with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations (BSQR).

Lot Information

Lot 1

SNBTS requires to procure temperature mapping kits to allow temperature controlled environments to be mapped in line with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations (BSQR). Temperature mapping is a regulatory requirement non-specifically referred to in GMP in sections such as validation and elsewhere e.g. EudraLex, vol 4, 3.19: "Where special storage conditions are required (e.g. temperature, humidity) these should be provided, checked and monitored." Mappings typically require a minimum of 24 hours for a single system (incubator, fridge etc); to 2 days for cold rooms using dual refrigeration systems (evaporators and condensers). Cold rooms require a minimum of 3 days per refrigeration system. Warehouse areas require a minimum of 7 days, with mappings carried out at different frequencies to capture seasonal changes. SNBTS can be required to complete in excess of 400 mapping events per year. This is for mainly annual mapping but also incorporates additional mapping events as required. It is estimated that a typical week will require completion of 5 maps per week, per technician (with up to 2 technicians performing mappings). It should be noted that larger areas may require the use of multiple mapping kits due to the large number of temperature probes / data loggers required to ensure complete coverage of the temperature controlled storage area. Mapping kits and their associated software must be able to support a quick turnaround for mapping events. With respect to the hardware, equipment should facilitate easy programming and set-up prior to use, with online interrogation of data. Software should facilitate quick and easy retrieval of data which can be compiled into a single report which covers all of the probes with statistical analysis (min / max / average temperatures for each probe) without requiring manual manipulation of data to determine the overall results. The reporting software should also be able to provide a 'Pass' / 'Fail' decision based on the initial programmed details and the data captured.

Options: SNBTS shall be entitled, at its option, to continue the period of the Contract for three (3) twelve (12) month extension periods subject to giving not less than six (6) months' notice to the successful Bidder, such notice to expire not later than the date upon which the Contract would otherwise have expired.

Renewal: SNBTS shall be entitled, at its option, to continue the period of the Contract for three (3) twelve (12) month extension periods subject to giving not less than six (6) months' notice to the successful Bidder, such notice to expire not later than the date upon which the Contract would otherwise have expired.
