## Summary

The Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the supply of donated eye tissue used for corneal transplantation and other surgery, with a total value of £3,000,000. The procurement method used was limited, and the rationale behind the procurement was the ongoing lack of UK sourced material, necessitating the sourcing from Third Country Suppliers who meet the relevant regulatory requirements. The contracting authority is located in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement stage was completed on 27th April 2023.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of human organs and surgical implants, particularly those capable of meeting the regulatory requirements for the supply of donated eye tissue. Companies with experience in the procurement, screening, and storage of such tissues, in compliance with national and international standards, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The opportunity includes a 24-month contract with options to extend, providing a stable revenue stream for interested suppliers.
