## Summary

The MHRA Buyer Organisation is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Purchase Plasma with a high level of D-dimer antigen." This project falls within the blood products industry category and encompasses locations across the East of England, London, and the South East of the United Kingdom. Interested suppliers must submit their expressions of interest by 28 June 2019, with an engagement end date set for 3 September 2019. This tender has been initiated through a market engagement notice to gauge potential supplier interest for specific plasma requirements.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the pharmaceutical, medical, and biotechnology sectors, especially those that can supply blood products. Companies that specialise in laboratory services, plasma collection, and blood bank services are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process. With its emphasis on high-quality, contamination-free plasma samples, suppliers that meet the stringent criteria outlined are encouraged to participate in the initiative to potentially secure a contract with the MHRA Buyer Organisation.

## Notice

The Agency is looking to purchase Plasma with a high level of D-dimer antigen (a breakdown product of fibrin and a marker for thrombosis) from patients. Essential requirements are as follows: - To have a variety of samples with different concentrations and size distributions of D-dimer. - Samples should have D-dimer concentrations > 10 ug/ml. Initially small volumes are needed 10-50 ml as a pool of mixed samples. Larger volumes may be required in the future. - Plasma should be free of blood-borne viruses, HIV, Hep B and C. If you can provide this requirement, please email to Nawaz Habib (nawaz.habib@nibsc.org) to register an interest. If no submissions (by close of play 28 June 2019) of potential interest are received, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can supply this material.
