- Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)
In plain English
NHS Supply Chain is setting up a national framework agreement, a pre-approved list of suppliers that NHS bodies can buy from without running their own tender, for equipment and supplies used in genetic hearing loss testing. The framework is estimated at about £10 million over two years, but this is a guide only and not a guaranteed amount of business.
What the buyer wants
• Supply a point-of-care genomics analyser (a testing machine used at the point of patient care) along with its consumables, including reagent test cartridges, solutions and printer labels. • Optionally provide clinical training, plus ongoing calibration and maintenance of the equipment. • Register on the NHS Supply Chain procurement portal, express intent to respond to the invitation to tender (ITT_2439) and submit a bid through the portal.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The framework is closed, so only suppliers selected or invited can bid, and the scope requires supplying specialist genomics testing equipment and consumables, which would likely rule out a small business without that product range or manufacturer relationship.
Always check the tender documents.
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.
Where to apply
The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
