In plain English
The Welsh Blood Service needs to buy an advanced automated machine that tests blood samples for donors and blood products. It must perform full blood counts, cell analysis, and specialized tests for iron deficiency and platelet counting, with proven use in other blood services.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and install an automated haematology analyser with full blood count, 5-part white cell differential, and reticulocyte analysis capability • Demonstrate the system works in blood services or blood centres with evidence of successful previous installations • Provide proof of compliance with medical device regulations, a quality management system, and robust maintenance/service arrangements that minimize downtime • Support External Quality Assessment programmes and provide peer benchmarking data from other sites using the same equipment
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is for specialized medical laboratory equipment, not a trades service: you must be an authorized distributor or manufacturer of haematology analysers with proven installations in blood services, which disqualifies almost all small building, maintenance, or general trades businesses.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
