Coverage: 14 active published awards; 14 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
NHSBT are seeking an enhanced analysis of Copper Sulphate solution which is an in vitro, semi-quantitative reagent used for investigation on the acceptance of blood donor minimum haemoglobin levels when taken from a capillary blood sample. The reagent is used to test a droplet of blood from a donor’s finger, following the use of a lancet, which will be transferred into the solution using a pipette. NHSBT must update the product conformity profile for this device and must understand the impact when exposed to different variables throughout its formulation process, transportation, use and storage. The profile is to be produced through a number of studies for visual, chemical and therapeutic analysis. In current practice, NHSBT Copper Sulphate solutions are used professionally for male and female specific testing to ensure only suitable donors are bled. Therefore, all studies must be conducted for scenario 1) Female Donation and Scenario 2) Male Donation.
