## Summary

NHS Blood and Transplant, a central government public authority based in Bristol, is conducting a procurement process titled "Cold Static Perfusion Fluid Framework Agreement" to supply cold static perfusion fluids intended for organ preservation during transplantation procedures. This open procurement involves framework agreements for three lots: UW Solution, HTK Solution, and Perfadex Type Solution, with suppliers intended to service the UK's National Organ Retrieval Service centres. The process has reached the contract award stage, with contracts signed on November 27th, 2025, and December 4th, 2025, commencing from December 1st, 2025, to November 30th, 2027, with potential extensions until November 2028.

This tender offers significant business development opportunities in the medical supply sector, specifically for companies involved in producing and delivering medical perfusion solutions. Businesses that can reliably supply cold static perfusion fluids on a large scale will find this framework appealing. Firms such as Global Transplant Solutions Inc., Pharmapal Limited, XVIVO B.V, and Bridge to Life (Europe) Ltd. have already been selected, implying that suppliers with robust capabilities in quality production and logistical support are well-suited for competition in such high-value contracts. Additionally, the open procedure allows direct and competitive call-offs, enabling both SMEs and larger enterprises to propose their offerings efficiently to meet NHSBT's requirements.
