Overview
The Welsh Blood Service (WBS), part of Velindre University NHS Trust, delivers blood collection and distribution services across Wales. The WBS Transport Department supports this by operating a fleet of vehicles used for: • Transporting blood and blood products to hospitals • Moving staff and equipment to blood donation clinics Many staff are recruited with Category B licence entitlement only and require additional training to drive vehicles requiring C1 and/or D1 licences.
Due to a lack of in-house training capability, WBS needs to procure an external provider to deliver this training. The service operates from four sites across Wales: • Talbot Green (Headquarters) • Llanelli (West) • Bangor (Northwest) • Wrexham (Northeast) This contract will support operational resilience and ensure staff are appropriately licensed to meet service demands.
