The organisation aims to engage the market to gather detailed information on the marketplace’s capabilities, with potential supplier engagement days scheduled for October 2024. The procurement seeks suppliers capable of providing, maintaining, and calibrating temperature monitoring devices crucial for the storage and transport of blood components across NHSBT’s 14 sites in England. The total contract is valued at £750,000, with key dates including potential future notice on 16 December 2024. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or maintaining precision equipment, particularly those specialising in temperature monitoring and calibration devices. Companies with innovative solutions and reliability in adherence to strict regulatory standards will find this tender beneficial. This procurement calls for businesses capable of ensuring the ongoing functionality and accuracy of equipment that handles temperature-sensitive medical supplies, making it well-suited for enterprises with a strong background in healthcare logistics solutions. ## Notice NHSBT will process over 1 million blood donations per year into various blood components within specific timelines. Once processed, these components are stored in temperature-controlled storage facilities within the organisation's 14 sites across England before being supplied to hospitals. Specific storage temperatures are vital to the efficacy and integrity of blood components and are always adhered to within strict regulatory requirements. These temperatures vary from -40degC to +24degC with considerably lower temperatures within NHSBT's sample storage and research facilities from -80degC down to -196degC. Calibrated Temperature Monitoring Devices (CTMDs) are used to fully temperature map all of NHSBT's temperature-controlled storage equipment on a routine basis according to the organisation's detailed processes and within the Quality Management System to ensure they are all fit for purpose. These include walk in freezers, cold rooms, incubators, and temperature-controlled areas. Calibration of the CTMDs is carried out on an annual basis according to the calibration points requested by NHSBT which will cover all of the temperature requirements noted above. Both calibration and maintenance services are carried out within strict turnaround times to ensure CTMDs are constantly available so that NHSBT can meet all of its temperature mapping requirements. NHSBT would like to take this opportunity to engage the market in advance of a procurement process for supply, maintenance, and calibration of suitable CTMDs for the purpose of temperature mapping our temperature-controlled facilities. This will enable NHSBT to gain an understanding of current developments and innovation for the provision of the CTMDs and associated software programs to determine what is available for supply, maintenance, and calibration services and to establish the level of market interest ahead of planned Supplier Engagement Days where products and services can be demonstrated. ### Lot Information Maintenance and Calibration of Temperature Loggers Maintenance & Calibration of Temperature Loggers Supply of Temperature Loggers Supply of New Temperature Loggers ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029947-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | 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 | 19 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Dec 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £750,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS BLOOD AND TRANSPLANT | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 7QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Filton | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 19 Sep 2024 at 08:54 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029947-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
