This procurement falls under the medical equipment and clinical products industry categories, adhering to an open procedure method. The contract has been awarded to BioLogic Technologies Limited, a SME located in Fordham, with a start date of 19 January 2026 and a duration of five years, extendable up to ten years. The procurement process culminated with the contract signing on 15 January 2026, and the associated financial value is £973,290.28 GBP gross. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in manufacturing or supplying medical equipment and consumables, particularly within the biotechnology and clinical product sectors. Companies that can offer comprehensive maintenance services and feature strong R&D capabilities for small-scale bioreactor systems could find lucrative opportunities in such government contracts. SMEs focusing on innovation in gene therapies and biotechnology advancements, similar in nature to BioLogic Technologies Limited, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, enhancing their market reach and business growth. ## Notice NHS Blood and Transplant is leading a procurement for the provision and maintenance of a Parallel Bioreactor and associated consumables. We are looking to appoint one (1) Supplier for the provision of this requirement. The Clinical Biotechnology Centre (CBC) are committed to providing manufacturing capability for viral vector products used in cell and gene therapies. As part of the Medical Research Council funded network for innovation in gene therapies, the CBC anticipate onboarding multiple viral vector projects per year. To reduce the risk of failed batches in GMP manufacturing, the onboarding process, any GMP contracts will be subject to intensive process definition at small scale prior to proceeding with GMP manufacturing contracts. The required parallel small-scale bioreactor system is critical for the onboarding process in allowing the process development to characterise the operational space (experimental space) and its critical process parameters. A small-scale parallel enables these parameters to be established at reduces scale enabling a larger number of parameters to be established. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Possible five extensions in twelve monthly increments for a maximum contract duration of ten years.
