The Contracting Authorities intend to establish a framework agreement with a suitably qualified and experienced economic operator for the provision of a range of transport services associated with organ transplant activities. Concerning the legislative context for this competition, Regulation 16 of S.I. 325 of 2012, which addresses the quality and safety of human organs intended for

transportation, makes specific reference to the need to ensure that the transport of organs is governed by appropriate operating procedures. It is

anticipated that this competitive process will identify an economic

operator capable of providing a high-quality service that safeguards the

integrity of organs during transport within suitable transport times.
