SCOTTISH NATIONAL BLOOD TRANSFUSION SERVICE

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) has completed a procurement process to acquire a managed service for microbiology test kits. This contract, titled "Managed Service Microbiology Test Kits," falls within the health sector and will serve the SNBTS premises located at the Jack Copland Centre in Edinburgh. Managed by Abbott, the contract began on 20th September 2024 and is valued at £283,000 GBP. The procurement method used was a limited process, involving no prior publication of a call for competition, to ensure continuity due to delays in a new contract procurement exercise.

This contract represents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in microbiological testing systems, instrumentation, and data management software. Companies with expertise in large-scale serological screening, including markers such as HBsAg, HCV, HIV, and Syphilis, as well as smaller-scale screenings for conditions like malaria, will find this tender valuable. Large businesses or those with the capability to handle comprehensive microbiological testing systems are well-suited to compete in supplying the required managed services for the SNBTS.
