## Summary

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has completed the procurement process for an interim contract concerning "Apheresis Collection Systems," specifically aimed at supporting blood services across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Ireland. This contract, valued at £2,900,000 and set for two years, ensures the continued supply of essential apheresis equipment. The procurement process was classified as a limited method, initiated without prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting a need for immediate continuity in service. The contract was signed on 3rd March 2020, and the delivery addresses include regions within the UK and Ireland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in medical equipment, particularly those specialising in apheresis technology and related healthcare products. Companies that can meet stringent quality criteria and competitive pricing are particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders stemming from this initial contract. The interim nature of the contract also indicates that there may be forthcoming opportunities as the buying authority seeks to establish a longer-term procurement strategy, making it an ideal time for businesses to engage with the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Blood Services of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Ireland wish to put in place an interim contract for the supply of Apheresis Collection systems. Apheresis procedures allow the collection of a single, double or triple adult therapeutic dose of platelets from one donor. Apheresis machines collect whole blood and separate it into its component parts. As the platelets are collected, the other blood components are returned to the donor. The interim contract will be for a period of two years, this will offer supply stability over the period of the contract and allow us to conclude a new OJEU tender.

### Procurement Information

Initially the Authorities were going to be utilising the services of a framework contract however plans for this changed at the last minute and the Authorities now require to ensure continuity of service with an interim contract. This will then allow the Authorities the opportunity to re-advertise for a new contract to cover the entire requirements for a longer period of time.
