Lot Information
Lot 1 - Maintenance of Existing Environmental Monitoring Systems
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) seeks to award a framework agreement for the maintenance, support and calibration of existing Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS) deployed across various sites. The EMS infrastructure is critical to ensuring the safe, compliant and continuous monitoring of controlled environments, equipment and storage facilities across NHSBT sites, including laboratories, cleanrooms, blood centres, storage facilities and specialist processing areas. These systems monitor a wide range of environmental and operational parameters, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, differential pressure, particle counts, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and equipment status. EMS installations vary in scale and complexity, ranging from approximately 50 to over 1,000 monitoring points per site, requiring a robust, scalable and resilient maintenance service capable of supporting large, distributed infrastructures.
Lot 2 - Upgrade & Purchase of New Environmental Monitoring SystemsNHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is seeking to aaward a framework agreement for the upgrade, enhancement and supply of new Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS) across various sites. EMS solutions are critical to maintaining safe, compliant and continuously monitored environments across NHSBT facilities, including laboratories, cleanrooms, processing areas and storage environments. These systems are required to support the monitoring, recording and reporting of a wide range of environmental and operational parameters, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, differential pressure, particle counts, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and equipment or plant status. NHSBT operates a diverse estate with system installations ranging from approximately 50 to over 1,000 monitoring points per site. Suppliers must therefore provide scalable, flexible and future-proof solutions capable of supporting complex, multi-site deployments and integration with existing infrastructure.
Planning Information
Supplier Engagment Sessions will be held in November 2025. The format of these sessions will be shared at a later date.
