## Summary

The procurement process relates to the Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which has completed a contract with Miracles In Sight for the supply of donated eye tissue used in corneal transplantation and surgery. The contract addresses an urgent need to secure transplantable graft materials following a shortfall from traditional suppliers since February 2023. This public procurement, directly awarded to Miracles In Sight under Regulation 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, is based on a dual-sourcing strategy to ensure the continuous supply of corneal tissue. The procurement is categorised under the 'Human Organs' CPV code and was based in the UK. The award for this direct procurement process was published on 19th September 2025, with the contract scheduled to run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses capable of providing niche medical products, particularly those that meet strict regulatory standards. The contract involves large-scale supply, and suppliers like Miracles In Sight, with expertise in human tissue procurement, are ideally positioned to benefit. Given the adherence required to UK Human Tissue Authority standards, businesses in the healthcare sector, especially those experienced in international compliance, could find significant growth prospects. The nature of the direct award highlights the importance of maintaining unique technical capabilities and regulatory compliance to succeed in such specialised procurement opportunities.

## Notice

This notice is being created upon the urgency of procuring transplantable graft material for transplant surgery. Establishments must meet the UK, stringent Human Tissue Authority standards. In the UK, NHS Tissue and Eye Services usually provide routine graft to all service users within the UK. Regrettably, since February 2023, NHSBT no longer can provide Moorfields with routine graft material. We are requesting Miracles In Sight which is also a HTA approved establishment to provide us with further graft material in a backdrop of widespread tissue shortages.

### Procurement Information

This contract award is made under Regulation 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits Direct Award without prior publication where competition is absent for technical reasons and no reasonable alternative exists. Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust requires the supply of human corneal tissue for transplant surgery. The number of suppliers worldwide able to meet the statutory and regulatory requirements of the UK Human Tissue Authority is extremely limited. To safeguard continuity of clinical services and mitigate the risks of supply disruption inherent in donor tissue procurement, the Trust has adopted a dual-sourcing strategy, awarding contracts to more than one accredited provider. This contract is awarded to Miracles In Sight, a provider capable of supplying suitable corneal tissue to the UK market in compliance with all relevant regulatory standards.
