## Summary

The MHRA Buyer Organisation is currently in the planning stage for the procurement titled "Purchase of purified hyperimmune Equine Tetanus Antitoxin". This tender falls within the animal products industry category, specifically focusing on blood products and related services. The procurement is set to supply the required material by 2019, with a key engagement deadline for interested suppliers on 14 March 2019. The specific requirements call for hyperimmune equine tetanus antitoxin with defined potency and volume, to be delivered at the NIBSC in Potters Bar, East of England.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for specialised suppliers in the veterinary medicine and biological products sector, particularly those capable of providing high-quality blood products. Businesses that can meet the stringent specifications outlined are encouraged to express interest, as the buyer may proceed with a direct award if no other suppliers engage by the given deadline. This could open doors for new partnerships and growth in the competitive landscape of medical supplies.

## Notice

The Agency requires the purchase of purified hyperimmune Equine Tetanus Antitoxin for use in the development of a replacement biological reference material. An overview of the requirement is: hyperimmune equine tetanus antitoxin obtained from the repeated immunisation of horses with tetanus toxoid and toxin. The suitable material would have a potency of at least 1,500 IU/ml in a total volume of not less than 5 L and will be purified F(ab)2. Material to be supplied in 2019. As far as we are aware there is only one supplier who is able to meet this very specific request. Potential suppliers if they feel they can meet the requirement should email Nawaz.habib@nibsc.org to register an interest. If no submissions of potential interest are received by close of play 14 March 2019, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can deliver the required service.
