    "description": "NHS Blood \u0026 Transplant (NHSBT) and Scottish National Blood Transfusion (SNBTS) Red Cell Immunohaematology (RCI) departments are awarding a supplier of red cell genotyping methods.\nThe RCI laboratories in NHSBT and SNBTS provide a range of reference services to hospitals, focusing on ensuring safe and effective blood transfusions by diagnosing and managing complex issues related to red blood cells. For some patients, the red cell phenotype cannot be determined due to prior transfusion, treatment with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, or autoimmune conditions. For these patients, the selection of safe compatible blood for transfusion relies on red cell genotyping, a molecular method of determining blood groups. Blood is often required urgently with increased risk to the patient if this is not met. RCI reference services in NHSBT are provided from Barnsley, Birmingham, Colindale, Filton (Bristol), Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tooting. RCI reference services in SNBTS are provided from Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, although red cell genotyping is only performed on the Glasgow site.\nNHSBT and SNBTS have now completed a tender and shall award based on the following:\n\u2022 Extended red cell genotype (blood groups).\n\u2022 Weak and Partial Rh D.\n\u2022 Either closed or open system.\n\u2022 Processing batches, but also capable of processing smaller numbers with minimum wastage.\n\u2022 Less than 24-hour TAT, including DNA extraction to results.\n\u2022 Quality requirements (such as CE marked)\nThe framework shall be utilised by NHS Blood and Transplant and Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service.",
