Supply of Copper Sulphate Solution

Opportunity overview

The contract value was increased from £700,000 to £1,050,000, representing a 50% increase in the original contract value, in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Additional supplies of Copper Sulphate Solution from the original contractor became necessary to meet increased product demand arising from NHS Blood and Transplant's response to the Amber Alert and to maintain continuity of pre-donation haemoglobin screening activities. The additional value also reflected supplier price increases required to support the continued supply of the product due to labour and raw material price increases. A change of contractor could not reasonably be made without significant operational inconvenience and risk to continuity of supply, as any alternative product and supply arrangement would need to meet NHSBT's technical, quality and operational requirements before implementation. The modification was limited to the continued supply of the same product by the existing contractor, did not alter the overall nature of the contract and did not exceed 50% of the original contract value. NHSBT also brought forward the planned re-procurement of the contract.
