This procurement involves acquiring 2,500 ml of human serum or defibrinated plasma and is classified under the CPV code 33141520, which pertains to plasma extracts. Interested suppliers should note that the engagement period ends on 28 March 2019, and relevant documents, including a market engagement notice, can be accessed through the provided links. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of clinical products, particularly those dealing with biological materials. Companies capable of providing certified human serum or plasma that meet specific testing and quality requirements would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. With a focus on viral marker negation and donor certification, suppliers who can demonstrate compliance with these health standards will find this tender particularly relevant for growth in the healthcare supply sector. ## Notice The agency is looking to purchase a 2500 ml volume of human serum or human defibrinated plasma containing autoantibodies to thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) at a titre >1000 IU/ml. Essential requirements are as follows: - The volume must comprise units from different individual donors. - Units must be certified by the supplier to be negative for viral markers including, as a minimum, viral markers for HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C - The concentration of anti-TPO must be reported by the supplier and be >1000 IU/mL as determined by an anti-TPO immunoassay. - Samples of a minimum volume, 2 ml, must be available to the customer free of charge for in-house testing to ensure material will be fit-for-purpose before continuing with any competition if required, i.e. tender/evaluations, or via direct award. - Donor units must be reserved while in-house testing takes place for a maximum time of 3 months. Desirable requirements are as follows: - Suppliers should be able to confirm if donors have refrained from taking supplements (e.g. Biotin) in the period leading up to their donation. If you can provide plasma or serum that meets these requirements, please email to Nawaz Habib (nawaz.habib@nibsc.org) to register an interest. If no submissions (by close of play 28 March 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2398c039-09bf-491f-90d7-bc5c19989dff | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Mar 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MHRA BUYER ORGANISATION | | Locality | POTTERS BAR | | Post town | Enfield | | Postcode | EN6 3QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Hertsmere | | Electoral ward | Shenley | | Westminster constituency | Hertsmere | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 33141520 - Plasma extracts - 33141560 - Human organs - 33141570 - Human blood - 33698000 - Clinical products - 33698100 - Microbiological cultures - 73111000 - Research laboratory services ## Release History - 11 Mar 2019 at 16:39 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2398c039-09bf-491f-90d7-bc5c19989dff ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2398c039-09bf-491f-90d7-bc5c19989dff 11th March 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://mhra.bravosolution.co.uk/web_mhra/login.html MHRA bravo etendering portal Weblink ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
