Supply of Human Bone Grinder including Maintenance and spare parts
Descriptions
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) have a requirement for a Bone Grinder for use in the Tissue and Eye Services (TES). Tissue and Eye Services currently use a bone grinder to manufacture demineralised bone matrix (DBM), it is used to grind human bone struts into a fine powder prior to demineralisation. The grinder must be suitable for use in a cleanroom and leave no metal residue on the bone. A new grinder must be able to grind bone to a particle size between 250µm and 710µm. All parts that come into contact with bone during use, must be removable and autoclavable at different temperatures. This consists of a wash cycle where the temperature must be sustained >55oC, a Reverse Osmosis water stage heated to >90oC and a dry air stage at a temperature of >100oC. DBM from TES treat more than 700 patients per year. Our current bone grinder runs off a separate compressor, we are looking for a new bone grinder that will run off mains electricity, with no requirement for a separate compressor. NHSBT are looking to engage with suppliers who can provide a bone grinder to meet our requirements. NHSBT wishes to invite suppliers who express an interest in this opportunity to Supplier Engagement meetings to be held on-line via Microsoft Teams on 16th February 2026. Any interested organisations are asked to contact carley.butcher@nhsbt.nhs.uk no later than 17:00 on 6th February 2026 to express their interest. If you do not respond by this date, you are not excluded from participating in the forthcoming tender, this date is to allow for optional supplier engagement meetings to be organised. There is no guarantee that a formal procurement process will be launched as a result of this early market engagement exercise, nor that any contract(s) will be placed. No remuneration or compensation etc will be paid to organisations who take part in this early market engagement exercise. Suppliers should take part in this process only on the basis that they fully understand and accept this position. Further information e.g. draft technical specification, award criteria and timescales may be released for consultation purposes only, to organisations who express an interest in this notice.
