        "description": "NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the forthcoming procurement of a Supply Chain Planning Solution. The purpose of this engagement is to understand current market capabilities, identify potential delivery models, explore appropriate commercial structures, and ensure that any future procurement process is fair, open, and aligned with supplier capacity.\nParticipation in this engagement is voluntary, does not form part of any selection or evaluation process, and will not disadvantage suppliers who choose not to participate. All engagement will be conducted transparently and in line with relevant UK public procurement legislation.\nHow to Participate\nSuppliers wishing to participate should contact:\nPaul Lewis, Senior Commercial Lead\nEmail: paul.lewis2@nhsbt.nhs.uk\nAll suppliers with an interest in supply chain planning, demand planning, inventory optimisation, forecasting, or associated systems integration services are encouraged to participate, including SMEs and VCSEs.\nEngagement Activities and Timelines\n1. Broadcast Session with TechUK – 1 December 2025\nThe authority will host an initial hybrid broadcast session, delivered in partnership with TechUK, held both online and in London. This session will provide:\nAn overview of NHSBT’s strategic aims\nHigh-level context for the future procurement\nAn outline of the emerging requirements and problem statements\nInformation about the planned RFI and subsequent engagement steps\nFollowing this event, NHSBT intends to release high-level requirements and a Request for Information (RFI) to all interested suppliers.\n2. Written RFI\nSuppliers will be invited to respond to an RFI designed to test deliverability, identify potential blockers, and explore market expectations on scope, technical architecture, procurement routes, and commercial structures.\n3. One-to-One Supplier Discussions – Proposed Dates: 6–16 January 2026\nNHSBT will hold structured one-to-one sessions to explore insights raised through the RFI in more detail. These discussions will focus on risks, assumptions, data considerations, dependencies, and realistic implementation pathways.\nSuppliers may request a session, and slots will be allocated to ensure broad representation across the market.\nObjectives of the Market Engagement\nThe purpose of the PME is to ensure NHSBT designs a procurement approach that is realistic, deliverable, non-discriminatory, and reflective of the diversity of the market. Key areas of focus include:\n1. Market Understanding\nUnderstanding typical solution architectures, operating models and technical standards.\nAssessing the maturity of the supply chain planning software market.\nIdentifying commonly used frameworks or routes to market.\nBenchmarking typical contract structures, service levels, liabilities, and support models.\nGaining insight into typical implementation timescales and change management approaches.\n2. Requirements and Specification Development\nTesting whether NHSBT’s emerging requirements are realistic and deliverable.\nIdentifying where scope may be over- or under-specified.\nHighlighting areas of risk, complexity, and uncertainty from a supplier perspective.\nExploring whether a lotting structure would better align with market capability (for example: Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Inventory Optimisation, Distribution Planning, Vendor Managed Inventory, Systems Integration, or combined delivery).\n3. Commercial and Procedural Design\nExploring different pricing approaches (for example subscription, modular pricing, consumption-based, hybrid, or outcome-based models).\nUnderstanding appetite for risk-sharing mechanisms or performance incentives.\nTesting realistic procurement timelines and mobilisation periods.\nSeeking feedback on appropriate routes to market, including:\nA Competitive Flexible Procedure\nCCS frameworks (for example: Back Office Software 2, Digital Specialists & Programmes, G-Cloud)\nOther relevant mechanisms\n4. Supplier Readiness and Capacity Building\nProviding early visibility of upcoming requirements to allow SMEs and VCSEs to prepare.\nSetting out NHSBT’s anticipated expectations on data, cyber security, interoperability, sustainability, and social value.\nHighlighting anticipated evaluation themes at a high level.\nProviding guidance on NHSBT’s procurement portals, documentation and submission processes.\n5. Innovation and Alternative Options\nIdentifying innovative or outcome-based approaches that could deliver transformational benefits.\nTesting whether existing public sector tools or platforms could be reused, adapted, or integrated.\nExploring opportunities for automation, predictive analytics, scenario modelling, or AI-enhanced planning.\nNext Steps\nInsights gathered through this PME will inform NHSBT’s:\nProcurement strategy\nLotting and delivery model\nCommercial structure and pricing approach\nSpecification and evaluation framework\nRoute to market\nFollowing completion of PME activities, NHSBT intends to publish a Tender Notice in line with the Procurement Act 2023."

This session will provide:\nAn overview of NHSBT’s strategic aims\nHigh-level context for the future procurement\nAn outline of the emerging requirements and problem statements\nInformation about the planned RFI and subsequent engagement steps\nFollowing this event, NHSBT intends to release high-level requirements and a Request for Information (RFI) to all interested suppliers.\n2. Written RFI\nSuppliers will be invited to respond to an RFI designed to test deliverability, identify potential blockers, and explore market expectations on scope, technical architecture, procurement routes, and commercial structures.\n3. One-to-One Supplier Discussions – Proposed Dates: 6–16 January 2026\nNHSBT will hold structured one-to-one sessions to explore insights raised through the RFI in more detail. These discussions will focus on risks, assumptions, data considerations, dependencies, and realistic implementation pathways.\nSuppliers may request a session, and slots will be allocated to ensure broad representation across the market.\nObjectives of the Market Engagement\nThe purpose of the PME is to ensure NHSBT designs a procurement approach that is realistic, deliverable, non-discriminatory, and reflective of the diversity of the market.

Requirements and Specification Development\nTesting whether NHSBT’s emerging requirements are realistic and deliverable.\nIdentifying where scope may be over- or under-specified.\nHighlighting areas of risk, complexity, and uncertainty from a supplier perspective.\nExploring whether a lotting structure would better align with market capability (for example: Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Inventory Optimisation, Distribution Planning, Vendor Managed Inventory, Systems Integration, or combined delivery).\n3. Commercial and Procedural Design\nExploring different pricing approaches (for example subscription, modular pricing, consumption-based, hybrid, or outcome-based models).\nUnderstanding appetite for risk-sharing mechanisms or performance incentives.\nTesting realistic procurement timelines and mobilisation periods.\nSeeking feedback on appropriate routes to market, including:\nA Competitive Flexible Procedure\nCCS frameworks (for example: Back Office Software 2, Digital Specialists & Programmes, G-Cloud)\nOther relevant mechanisms\n4.
