## Summary

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is inviting tenders for the provision of a Stem Cell Clinical and Laboratory IT System. This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically focusing on medical software packages. The tender was published on 14th August 2017 and is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 17th November 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 5th March 2018 and conclude on 4th March 2022. This opportunity is located in the South East region of England and has an estimated value of £122,400.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical software and IT solutions that can enhance clinical and laboratory capabilities in a healthcare setting.

Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given that the procurement process supports their involvement, potentially paving the way for innovative solutions and business growth in the healthcare technology sector.

## Notice

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is a Centre of Excellence for stem cell 1.8transplantation and has one of the largest stem cell transplant programmes in the UK with over 200 transplants performed annually. The Trust performs adult and paediatric, autologous and allogeneic, related and unrelated donor transplants. Additionally the Trust performs cord transplants using cells provided by external cord banks, and is looking to collect, store and issue cellular therapy products as part of clinical trials. The current IT provision is a home-grown system that has been in use for over 20 years and was written before the emergence of licensing by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and accreditation by the Joint Accreditation Committee (JACIE). The Trust requires a stem cell transplant programme IT system capable of supporting clinical, laboratory, quality, managerial and administrative activities in a hospital environment. The system must offer full traceability from booking cell collection, apheresis or bone marrow collection, through sampling, processing, cryopreservation, storage and issue or disposal. The system must be compliant with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and show how this will be maintained in the future.
