This project is classified under health services, specifically involving the recruitment and management of stem cell donors for clinical transplantation. The tender period is open until 29th December 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 1st October 2018, lasting until 30th September 2020. Interested suppliers will need to participate in a restricted procedure, and delivery locations include regions in London and the South East of the United Kingdom. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical services, particularly those with expertise in tissue typing, donor management, and stem cell harvesting. Companies that can provide the necessary medical personnel and facilities to perform assessments and procedures will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, organisations experienced in compliance with Human Tissue Authority and related regulatory requirements may find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. ## Notice The British Bone Marrow Registry (BBMR) is a division of NHS Blood and Transplant. The Northern Ireland and Scottish Blood Transfusion Services are participants in the service provided by the BBMR. The BBMR supports HSC Clinical Transplantation Programmes for UK and International patients. It recruits prospective stem cell donors from the blood donor population. The donors are tissue typed and they are then available to be searched by accredited Transplant Centres or laboratories acting on their behalf for patients with leukaemia and other blood disorders. After further identification testing a donor may be selected as the final donor. The BBMR collects HSC products from donors between the ages of 18 and 60. The finally selected donor is counselled and informed consent for the donation obtained. Donor counselling is currently performed by the BBMR in accordance with Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) requirements. Responsibility for this service can be undertaken by the service provider. The donor must be medically assessed and fitness to donate the HSC product determined. The medical assessment of the donor includes the risk of disease transmission to the recipient. The source of stem cells for First and Subsequent donations is from the Bone Marrow under General Anaesthetic (GA) as an inpatient, or Peripheral Blood stimulated by Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) as an outpatient procedure. Subsequent donations for the same patient may also include blood lymphocytes. For a peripheral blood stem cell collection donors receive a short course of G-CSF, 4 or 5 days. The successful contractor will prescribe G-CSF as Lenograstim, Granocyte(r). The service provider will procure, label and issue the HSC product, for distribution under direction from BBMR.
