Description

NHS Blood and Transplant want to procure a regular supply of blood type testing consumables to raise awareness of blood donation, most needed blood types engaging with the public to address myths and barriers towards donation and inspire and motivate people to become donors.

The scope of the work ranges from providing testing events in general public spaces, or bespoke company sessions, through to sending kits to people at home to self-test. The kits need to be easy to transport in small and medium quantities to deliver events. To plan events, staff will have to ensure sufficiency of supply of all testing items as part of their event management. For self-tests they need to be light-weight for those being sent through Royal Mail.
