XVIVO Liver Perfusion Sets Awarded to KCH for £412,930
Summary
KCH Interventional Facilities Management LLP has awarded a contract valued at £412,930 excluding VAT to XVIVO B.V. (Netherlands) for liver perfusion sets under the Procurement Act 2023. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027 with a possible one-year extension. The direct award was justified on technical grounds as XVIVO is the only supplier capable of providing both Normothermic Perfusion and Hypothermic Perfusion technology.
“XVIVO is the only supplier that can facilitate both NPM (Normothermic Perfusion) and HPM (Hypothermic Perfusion) through their Liver Assist products.”
UK public procurement officers should note the direct-award mechanism used here: a single-supplier technical-justification under the Procurement Act 2023 transparency framework. The NICE 2025 evidence review confirming XVIVO's uniqueness appears to be the key supporting documentation. NHS and other public sector bodies considering similar high-value medical consumables procurement where a single supplier can technically justify a direct award should document that supporting evidence — NICE technology appraisals are one source — to satisfy transparency requirements.
What changed
This notice records the award of a £412,930 contract for XVIVO Hope Liver Perfusion Sets to the sole Netherlands-based supplier, XVIVO B.V., by KCH Interventional Facilities Management LLP under the UK's Procurement Act 2023 transparency regime. The contract runs 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027 with a potential one-year extension. A direct award was used, justified by the supplier's unique technical capability to provide both NPM and HPM liver perfusion technology, as confirmed by a 2025 NICE review.
Healthcare procurement professionals and NHS trust sourcing teams should note this as a transparency disclosure under the Procurement Act 2023, not a competitive tender. The direct-award mechanism relies on the supplier's technical uniqueness and is subject to contract-performance risk disclosures, which in this case cite potential patient harm and operational cost risks if perfusion delivery fails.
