Classified under the "Hospital and related services" industry, this tender is specialised for bone donation services to be executed by the Leicester Bone and Tissue Bank. The contracting process is currently in the Award stage with the intention to award being formally noted. This process involves a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition, and the standstill period allows for representations by 21st August 2025. Key contact personnel include Jade Mall, Nicole Coleman, and Dan Bromley, with Dan serving as the central contact point for representations.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in tissue donation and management.

Small to medium enterprises with relevant specialisations and experience in similar healthcare procurement processes may find this an attractive avenue for growth by partnering or subcontracting to fulfil service delivery needs associated with this award under the PSR.
