Coverage: 8 active published awards; 4 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 Unpublished data stays unknown.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.

Procedure rationaleX-vivo produces equipment for our perfusion projects which are uniquely manufactured and serviced by them alone. No other supplier manufactures consumables for Liver Assist devices nor do they have the expertise to service the devices. X-vivo has enabled us to create customized equipment to suit our project needs. The Liver Assist is a unique device in that it allows both normothermic (36 - 38 degrees Celsius) and hypothermic (2 - 10 degrees Celsius) perfusion of livers to facilitate our projects we require the ability to perfuse organs at varying temperatures. No other perfusion devices offer this dual function. We have several projects both ongoing and planned utilizing the Liver Assist device to perfuse liver organs to ensure research continuity. |
