Likely requirements

This contract is for medical device manufacturers and specialist orthopaedic suppliers only. Small building or general trades businesses will not qualify. You must already be a licensed, approved orthopaedic product manufacturer or distributor with regulatory approval from MHRA and CE marking.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
