Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) eValidation System

Descriptions

Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS), part of NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), seeks to procure software and support services for an eValidation solution. SNBTS is the specialist provider of safe high quality blood, tissue and cell products and services in Scotland. The key priority is to ensure that NHSScotland has enough blood to meet the transfusion needs of patients in Scotland. NSS wishes, on behalf of NHSScotland, to purchase support services for the eValidation System and other services associated with the software. NSS therefore invites tenders for the provision of these services from those economic operators who are interested and capable to provide these services. The operational and functional requirement for the services is based on the requirements as contained in Appendix 1 of the Invitation to Tender (ITT). It is anticipated that NSS will enter into a contract in the form contained in Appendix 4 of the ITT. The contract will be a seven year (7) term with the option of a yearly annual extension thereafter plus break options at the end of years three (3), four (4), five (5) and six (6).
