Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, the Common Services Agency, procured a red cell genotyping solution for NHS use in Scotland. The requirement covers equipment, maintenance, training, consumables, test kits and software for rapid determination of predicted red cell phenotype by analysing DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples. This is a healthcare goods requirement, classified under CPV 33696200. The supply includes the equipment and supporting services needed to operate the testing capability, rather than a standalone product purchase. Delivery is associated with Scotland. The procurement was called off from the NHS Blood and Transplant Framework C405621, so it is relevant to suppliers able to provide an integrated genotyping platform and its ongoing operational support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure as a call-off from the NHS Blood and Transplant Framework C405621. There was one bid, submitted electronically by an SME, and Sussex Biologicals Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract value is £680,051 including the stated contract scope. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and has an 84-month duration. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies the supplier and confirms the award relates to the complete red cell genotyping requirement, including equipment, maintenance, training, consumables, test kits and software. The available procurement information does not set out a separate weighted evaluation breakdown.

This outcome shows demand from a Scottish public-sector health buyer for an end-to-end red cell genotyping capability, not merely laboratory equipment. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to combine DNA-based red cell phenotype testing with suitable instruments, test kits, consumables, software, maintenance and user training. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that the full system works together in a clinical laboratory environment and can be supported throughout a long operating period. Experience supplying blood-grouping or related molecular diagnostic services would be directly relevant, alongside dependable technical support, staff training and continuity of consumable supply. The procurement also indicates that an SME can compete through the relevant NHS framework route.
