T.0340 Blood Transfusion Automation Managed Service Contract for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
0340 Blood Transfusion Automation Managed Service Contract for the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is currently in the contract update stage. This contract, originally awarded in 2016 for a duration of 7 years with an additional 3-year extension, is due to expire in November 2026. The responsible authority for this procurement is the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, based in Cardiff, United Kingdom.
The industry category for this tender is pathology services, and the services under this contract are to be delivered within the regions of North Wales. Delays related to the WLIMS system implementation necessitated extending current arrangements, following Regulation 72(c)(i) of PCR 2015, until the new tender process concludes. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the pathology service industry, particularly those involved in blood transfusion automation.
Organisations capable of managing comprehensive and sensitive healthcare service contracts, such as large-scale diagnostics companies, could benefit from the opportunity to participate in future procurement processes related to this contract. Given the specialised nature of the services required, companies with a demonstrable track record in similar heavily-regulated environments will find themselves well-suited to meet the needs outlined by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board as they prepare for the upcoming tender process. The current supplier, ORTHO-CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS, exemplifies the level of expertise and reliability desired in this procurement area.
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.
