## Summary

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract to Organ Recovery Systems for the provision of LifePort Perfusion Consumables, focused on the continuous hypothermic machine perfusion of kidneys for transplantation preservation. Classified under the medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products industry (CPV 33000000), this procurement falls under the goods category. The contracting process followed a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, with the contract marked as active and signed on 23 December 2024. The initial contract term is 12 months, with options for extension up to an additional 24 months in 12-month increments, reaching an estimated value of £40,260. The procurement location is identified as Manchester, specifically region UKD33.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, particularly those capable of supplying advanced preservation consumables like the LifePort Perfusion Consumables. Companies with innovative solutions and compatible products for the already established LifePort Kidney Transporter machines would be ideally suited to compete in similar future procurements. This contract exemplifies the vital role that such businesses play in supporting healthcare infrastructure, specifically in the highly specialised field of organ transplantation. The opportunity for contract extensions also suggests potential for long-term business relationships and sustained growth in this niche market.
