## Summary

The procurement process involved the NHS Blood and Transplant for the supply of Additive Solutions for the Suspension of Blood Products. The industry category is blood-transfusion supplies, and the procurement stage is the award phase. The tender was conducted through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contracting authority extended the framework agreement by one year due to delays related to Covid-19, covering the period from 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2023.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in supplying blood-transfusion-related products to compete for a contract with NHS Blood and Transplant. Companies in the healthcare industry, specifically those focusing on blood products and solutions, would be well-suited to participate in this tender.

NHSBT uses Platelet Additive Solution (PAS) for the suspension and storage of pooled platelets, and Saline Adenine Glucose Mannitol (SAGM) solution in the manufacture and storage of washed red cells.

The framework agreement was awarded to MacoParma after an OJEU open tender exercise on behalf of selected beneficiaries (blood services from the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand).
