UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has undertaken a procurement process, primarily identified as a tender, for "Blood Group Genotyping for Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia." This initiative aims to embed blood group genotyping into routine practice, thus minimizing adverse reactions for patients with rare blood disorders. The procurement comes under the health services industry category, targeting the region of London, UK. The most recent stage in the process as of 10 June 2026, involved a contract termination notice, following the completion of the contracted services valued at £140,671. Originally, the contract was awarded through a direct method to NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) due to their unique technical capabilities. The contract began on 25 June 2025 and ended on 31 March 2026.

This procurement process offers significant potential for growth for businesses specialising in healthcare services, specifically those with expertise in genetic and blood testing services. Companies capable of delivering specialized health services for patients with conditions like Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia would find opportunities in similar procurement processes. The direct award approach indicates a need for specific technical capabilities and innovative solutions, suggesting that businesses who can provide unique or proprietary health service technologies may be particularly well-suited to future contracts of this nature. Additionally, engaging in such contracts could enhance a company's profile and credibility in the healthcare sector.
