Procurement Information

As an international stem cell registry the WBMDR has been working hard to maintain the provision of stem cell products to facilitate transplants locally and globally during this COVID-19 pandemic. We have experienced many challenges such as reducing donor exposure, international flight quarantine, grounding of commercial flights, using freight and cargo flight to transport stem cells (HTA full knowledge), transportation of cryopreserved stem cells to name but a few. Unfortunately, reacting to these changes and implementing safe and viable alternative processes has taken up a great deal of time and the fact that we are working with European registries on this tender process, who have themselves experienced the same COVID related issues, has meant that progress has been limited. This is therefore an interim arrangement whilst a re-tendering process is undertaken.
