The aim of this prior information notice is to find suppliers operating in this field of business, get information of the solutions available in the market, and inform our plans and requirements for the forthcoming procurement.

The service must support the management of the entire lifecycle of grafts and other substances of human origin, including the recording of donors, grafts, storage, release, use and traceability in accordance with the SoHO Regulation and national requirements.

The costs associated with responding to a request for information are borne by the respondent, and HUS does not pay compensation for responding to a request for information or participating the procurement procedure.
