Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS Blood and Transplant, titled "Supply and Maintenance of a Cord Blood Cell Separation System and associated consumables," was originally part of a tender process covering the medical equipment industry category, focused on Bristol, UK. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, with an anticipated contract period starting on 1st September 2025 and potentially extending until 31st August 2033. However, a notice of cancellation was published on 23rd July 2025, due to changed regulations regarding CE markings, which impacted bid compliance. The tender submission and enquiry periods concluded on 7th July 2025, and 23rd June 2025, respectively, with the contract, valued at £494,752, being designed to support the NHS Cord Blood Bank's services.

This tender could have provided significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in medical equipment manufacturing, repair, and maintenance. SMEs interested in expanding their reach within public sector contracts, particularly those with expertise in stem cell separation technologies, might have found this contract suited their services. The requirement for price, quality, and social value as evaluation criteria highlights the importance of competitive pricing, innovative solutions, and social responsibility in submissions. This tender demonstrates the potential for businesses to enter the healthcare supply chain, offering advanced solutions that contribute to critical healthcare services.

Notice Title

Supply and Maintenance of a Cord Blood Cell Separation System and associated consumables

Notice Description

NHS Blood and Transplant is leading a procurement for the provision and maintenance of a Cord Blood Cell Separation System and associated consumables. We are looking to appoint one (1) Supplier for the provision of this requirement. The Cord Blood Bank (CBB) forms part of the Clinical Services Directorate of NHSBT. The CBB laboratory provides services to support haematopoietic stem cell transplantation including collection, processing and cryopreservation of cord blood derived stem cells. Cord blood is rich in blood stem cells, similar to those found in bone marrow, and these can be used to treat many different cancers, immune deficiencies and genetic disorders. For the transplant to be a success, stem cells taken from the cord blood must match the patient's tissue type as closely as possible.
