## Summary

The current procurement process is led by NHS Blood & Transplant in the UK for the supply of a Whole Blood Collection System and Ancillary Processing Systems, classified under goods and specifically labelled as "Blood bags". The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with an active contract awarded to Fresenius Kabi Limited. The contract commenced on 1st March 2018 and has recently been extended to 31st October 2023, with a total contract value of £1,000,000. This extension is mainly due to delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected the re-tendering process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical supplies sector, particularly those that specialise in blood collection and processing equipment. Companies involved in manufacturing or supplying blood bags, plasma filters, or similar products will find a conducive environment to compete for upcoming contracts, especially due to the extension of the current contract that allows time for the development of new frameworks. With the NHS's continued need for reliable suppliers during this critical time, businesses positioned to demonstrate their capability in providing these products will likely thrive.
