The NHS Blood and Transplant organisation is currently in the tender stage for the procurement of Liquid Nitrogen (LN) across multiple sites including Filton (Bristol), Southampton, Barnsley, Oxford, Liverpool, and Birmingham. The contract, titled "Bulk Supply of Liquid Nitrogen," falls under the goods category within the health industry. The tender, initiated on 16th October 2024, has a closing date for submissions on 15th November 2024, which is also the date when the award decision will commence. The procurement method being utilised is the open procedure, and it is covered by the GPA agreement. Interested suppliers must register and apply via the Atamis e-sourcing portal.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of Liquid Nitrogen.
