## Summary

The NHS Blood and Transplant organization has completed a procurement process for the UK Derived & Manufactured Dried Plasma Component. The procurement focused on appointing a provider to assist with a project initially funded by the UK Ministry of Defence. The tender involved a limited procurement method, with only one bid received from Velico Medical. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 1,350,000, was signed on 12th April 2023, covering equipment, consumables, and services for the project.
