Summary of the contracting process
The public procurement process led by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board involves a direct award contract for a Blood Transfusion Automation Managed Service, with Ortho Clinical Diagnostics as the supplier. This contract, initially established in 2016, comes under the healthcare services industry category and is regulated by both the MHRA and BSQR guidelines.
Although initially due to expire in November 2026 following a 7-year term with a 3-year extension, the Health Board must delay the procurement of a new service due to resource constraints linked to the WLIMS system implementation. The contract is set to be in force from December 2026 to November 2027, with a possible further six-month extension.
Located primarily in various regions across Wales, the regulatory environment necessitates the careful execution of this heavily regulated contract. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, with a significant date to note being the scheduled future signature by September 2025.
