NHS Blood and Transplant seeks to establish a Framework Agreement for the Supply of Cold Static Perfusion Fluid:
Lot 1: UW Solution
Lot 2: HTK Solution
Lot 3 Perfadex Type Solution.
Cold Static Perfusion Fluid intended for flushing and cold storage of organs at the time of their removal from the organ donor in preparation for storage, transportation and eventual transplantation into a donor recipient.
Please note: Machine Perfusion fluid is not required.
NHSBT is the commissioner responsible for providing funding, infrastructure, clinical guidance and standards to the National Organ Retrieval Service (NORS). NORS is comprised of several organ retrieval centres in England, Wales and Scotland, who are responsible for sending a retrieval team travelling to any organ donor in the UK to retrieve organs for transplantation. The tender is being carried out by the Authority to establish a Framework against which the NORS Centres will call-off their requirements directly with the Suppliers.
