Tender description
NHSBT are exploring the possibility of purchasing a content management system and engaging design and development services to implement and support multiple national/international website.<br/>The purpose of this PIN is to maximize the opportunity for a successful procurement process and eventual acquisition, should the Authority choose to invite competitive tenders from the marketplace in the future.<br/>The Authority hopes to gain an understanding of the indicative budgetary costs; the implementation and project timescales; obtain information for the procurement sourcing strategy and the business case; and finally, to inform the business decision relative to a future procurement process and the project direction. Lot 1: The Systematic Review Initiative (SRI), and Serious Hazards of Transfusion (SHOT) are organisations collectively funded by the UK Forum, a collaboration between the four UK Blood Services, and are based in NHSBT. SHOT has their own websites, while SRI operates a sub-site within the JPAC website. <br/><br/>The SRI website focuses on increasing the evidence base for transfusion medicine through systematic reviews and curates two evidence libraries. SHOT serves as the UK's independent inquiry into the serious hazards of transfusion, providing authoritative data and supporting policy development and guideline production. <br/><br/>Both websites suffer from outdated design and poor user and owner experiences. The SRI site is hosted by an external provider with limited functionality and management capabilities. The contract with the provider is set to expire in June 2024. SHOT's website is maintained by another provider but faces similar limitations. Separate user requirement specifications are required for each organisation. Given their similar positions and funding by the UK Forum, addressing the website limitations is crucial for SRI and SHOT to provide better user experiences, improve data dissemination, and optimise learning from hemovigilance.

About the buyer
NHS Blood and Transplant runs the UK's blood and organ donation services, and buys as a national healthcare organisation with its own procurement team. Every tender is advertised through Atamis, the e-tendering platform used across the NHS. Much of its buying flows through framework agreements with the Crown Commercial Service, NHS Supply Chain and NHS Shared Business Services. Four internal teams commission separately, covering Operations, Information Technology, Strategic Goods and Estates and Services. Strategic Goods sources blood bags and testing equipment through collaborative agreements with Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.
Over the past 5 years, most of NHS Blood and Transplant's contract awards have been in medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, IT services and business services.
