Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is managed by the Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and involves the supply of donated eye tissue for corneal transplantation and other surgeries. This tender, initiated under a limited procurement method due to a significant shortage of corneal tissue, is classified under goods in the surgical implants industry. The contract was awarded on 7 June 2022 and includes provisions for delivery to London, within the UK. The awarded supplier is the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank, which has been licensed to import the specialised tissues necessary to fulfil this contract.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses, especially those in the medical and surgical implant sectors, to consider entering negotiations for future contracts. Companies capable of sourcing and supplying specialised human eye tissues or similar biological materials may find this market particularly advantageous. Furthermore, suppliers with experience in compliance with health regulations, as well as established networks within the international biomedical community, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.
