Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, for the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service, intends to procure a replacement fleet of digital temperature and humidity data loggers. The requirement includes associated software, technical support and calibration services. The monitoring solution is intended for use across Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service operations in Scotland, covering temperature monitoring from -196°C to +80°C and, where required, relative humidity monitoring from 10% to 80% RH. Required functionality includes compatibility with analogue and digital probes, preferably digital, local display, configurable alarms, audit capability, and connection to cloud-based or on-premises monitoring platforms. The equipment must support reliable monitoring and help maintain blood-service operational controls.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It is planned as a single-lot purchase of goods with associated services. The buyer expects a further notice to be published on 7 August 2026. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and is based on the EU public procurement legal framework. The planned scope includes replacement equipment, software, support and calibration across the system lifecycle. Calibration must be traceable to UKAS-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 standards, with “as found” calibration reports. The buyer is also considering a digital probe calibration exchange service to reduce operational downtime.

The requirement will suit manufacturers and specialist suppliers of environmental data logging and monitoring systems, particularly those able to deliver complete hardware, software, support and calibration packages. Relevant capability includes monitoring very low and high temperatures, measuring relative humidity, integrating analogue and digital probes, configuring alarms and audit trails, and connecting systems to cloud or on-premises platforms. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate CE or UKCA-marked equipment and calibration arrangements meeting UKAS-traceable ISO/IEC 17025 standards. Experience of probe calibration exchange services, “as found” reporting and lifecycle support will be valuable. The buyer is looking for solutions that keep monitoring equipment in service during calibration and minimise disruption to blood-transfusion operations.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) intends to procure a replacement fleet of digital temperature and humidity data loggers, together with associated software, support and calibration services. The solution must support temperature monitoring across a range of-196degC to +80degC and, where required, relative humidity monitoring between 10% and 80% RH. The system should support both analogue and digital probes, with a preference for digital probe technology, and provide local display, configurable alarms, audit functionality and connectivity to cloud-based or on-premises monitoring platforms. Equipment must be CE/UKCA marked and support calibration to UKAS-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 standards. SNBTS is particularly interested in solutions that support a digital probe calibration exchange service, allowing calibrated replacement probes to be exchanged without removing the logger from service. The service should include UKAS-traceable calibration, provision of "as found" calibration reports, and ongoing lifecycle support to minimise operational downtime.
