The project is currently at the planning stage, with market engagement set to conclude on 2nd January 2026. This opportunity falls under the cleaning services category (CPV code: 90910000) and covers multiple locations, including Barnsley, Birmingham, Filton, Liverpool, Oxford, and Southampton. Key facilities within NHSBT require adherence to strict hygiene standards in compliance with EUGMP and HTA regulations. The estimated value of the contract is £350,000. A pre-market engagement meeting is slated for early 2026, inviting interested parties to participate. This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those with expertise in maintaining sterility in laboratory environments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) can benefit significantly from this engagement due to the specific suitability considerations outlined in the procurement. The project provides a substantial contract value, promising cash flow and potential growth opportunities for businesses equipped to meet the stringent regulatory and quality demands of NHS Blood and Transplant’s cleanroom facilities. ## Notice The Cellular and Molecular Therapies (CMT) function is a Specialist Services department forming part of NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) Therapeutic Services.
