## Summary

NHS Blood and Transplant has completed a procurement process for the "Reading Donor Centre Re-location" project, under the works category. The project involves construction work related to the relocation of a donor centre, with Carmelcrest Ltd awarded the contract. With a gross value of £1,372,960.93, the contract was officially awarded on 17 March 2026, and the project is scheduled to run from 8 April 2026 to 24 July 2026. The procurement method employed was limited competition, as it was below the threshold. The process, now in the award stage, highlights the successful completion of a central government initiative by a public authority based in Bristol, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in construction and building work, such as SMEs capable of handling large-scale projects. The limited competition offers an advantageous environment for well-established construction companies capable of carrying out specialised government contracts. Potential suppliers should have competencies in managing projects within the country's central government framework and leverage their expertise in building construction work to secure future contracts of a similar nature.
