Summary of the contracting process
The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has extended the Blood Transfusion Automation Managed Service Contract (T.0340) for the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. Originally awarded in 2016, the contract was intended for seven years with a potential three-year extension, which was exercised.
Now, due to delays related to the implementation of a new WLIMS system, the contract's expiration is pushed to November 2026 under Regulation 72 (c)(i) modification in PCR 2015. This service falls under the industry category of 'services' and is specifically classified under CPV code 85111800, with delivery to regions UKL13, UKL12, and UKL23.
The procurement process is currently in the 'award' stage, highlighting a strategic decision rooted in urgent resource prioritisation for system replacement. The continuation with ORTHO-CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS, a large-scale supplier based in Bridgend, embodies the trust and expertise required to maintain this critical health service. Engaging in such contracts can lead to extended collaborations with health boards, particularly under dynamic and evolving healthcare demands.

Lot 1
The original procurement completed in 2016 awarded a contract for 7 years with an option for a further extension of 3 years, which was taken by the Health Board. This contract is due to expire November 2026. The Health Board had originally planned to retender and had set timelines of a 2-year process to award and implement a new contract.
Due to delays in the implementation of the replacement WLIMS system which has necessitated intensive resource and staff time to be dedicated to this project as a national priority. The required resource to undertake a tender process is not available and therefore, the Health Board has no choice but to delay the procurement of a new service.
Due to the heavily regulated and sensitive nature of this service, it is not possible to change supplier without a full implementation period and therefore, the Health Board will extend the current arrangements in line with a Regulation 72 (c ) (i)modification in PCR 2015, whilst the new tender process is conducted.
