## Summary

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned clinical trial set-up services from NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT). The requirement covers NHSBT set-up fees and the set-up fees for TAS and CMT clinical trials. This is a specialist research and experimental development service supporting the preparation and initiation of clinical trials, rather than the supply of general laboratory goods or routine healthcare services. The buyer is the Leeds-based NHS Trust, and the work supports its trial activity. Suppliers considering comparable requirements should therefore understand clinical research environments, trial initiation processes and the operational arrangements needed to work with NHS organisations. The requirement is focused on set-up activity and associated fees, with NHSBT acting as the selected specialist provider.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), with an active award and contract. The contract was signed on 16 December 2025 and runs from 17 December 2025 to 4 May 2026. Its value is £11,000 including tax, in pounds sterling. The contract concerns trial set-up fees and the associated research and experimental development service. The recorded procurement route indicates that the Trust made the appointment without inviting competing bids. NHSBT is the sole awarded supplier for the requirement, and the contract is recorded as below the applicable threshold. The tender and lot are both complete.

This procurement indicates demand from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist clinical trial initiation support, including the administrative, technical and operational work represented by trial set-up fees. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience supporting clinical research and setting up trials, with a clear understanding of NHS governance, documentation, approvals and stakeholder coordination. Relevant capability may include working across different trial types and translating set-up requirements into reliable, compliant services. NHSBT’s selection shows that a large, established public-sector or healthcare research provider was considered suitable for this work. Suppliers should be able to evidence robust processes, appropriate specialist staff, capacity to support NHS trial programmes and familiarity with the standards expected in regulated clinical research.
