## Summary

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has completed the procurement process for a managed service contract focused on Hepatitis E testing, involving Nucleic Acid Testing for HEV, HAV, and Parvo B19. The contract, titled "Managed Service for Hepatitis E," falls under the services category, specifically relating to the repair and maintenance of medical equipment. Located in Edinburgh, this procurement was conducted via a limited procedure without prior publication, justified by the project's need to ensure continuity and avoid service delays. The service commencement is set for a six-month extension from 1 November 2025, with Roche Diagnostics selected as the supplier for the active contract signed on 28 August 2025, valued at £150,000.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in medical microbiology services and equipment maintenance. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive service systems that include equipment, maintenance, and remote diagnostics could leverage such procurement projects to cement partnerships with public health bodies. While Roche Diagnostics, a large firm in the medical diagnostics industry, has secured this contract, similar opportunities may present themselves, offering potential growth through robust service delivery and technical expertise in similar procurements.
