## Summary

The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically targeting X-ray devices. The contract is set to operate within NHSBT centres across England, as part of the Blood Supply directorate, thereby promoting safer blood treatment for immunosuppressed patients. The process utilised a selective procurement method using a call-off from a framework agreement. Important dates include the contract award on the 27th of December, 2025, and commencement on the 29th of December, 2025, lasting until the 28th of February, 2027. This stage is marked as complete, and the award value amounts to £734,450.

The tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, specifically those specialising in medical technology and equipment supply, to engage with NHSBT. G Rad Services Ltd, identified as an SME, was successfully awarded this contract, reflecting the opportunities available for similar-sized enterprises. Businesses with expertise in supplying advanced medical devices can find growth potential through partnerships with public health organisations, enhancing their portfolio by contributing to essential health services across England. Suppliers capable of delivering high-quality X-ray devices matching NHSBT's specifications are well-positioned to compete for future tenders in this sector.

## Notice

Supply of 3 Xray Blood Irradiators to replace 3 Gamma Irradiators. The X-ray irradiators operate within the Blood Supply directorate of NHSBT. Hospital Services teams operate from 14 departments that are based in NHSBT centres across England. Each unit provides a portfolio of irradiated products to Hospitals across England. Treatment of red cells and platelets with irradiation prevents residual white cells from replicating inside immunosuppressed patients and significantly reduces the risk of these vulnerable patients developing Transfusion related graft vs host disease.
