Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

NHS Supply Chain is setting up a framework agreement, a pre-approved list of suppliers, for medical electrodes (the sticky pads used on patients for heart and foetal monitoring), CTG monitoring equipment (cardiotocography, which tracks baby heart rate and contractions during labour), and conductive and ultrasound gels. Hospitals, NHS bodies, government bodies and private healthcare providers across the UK can then buy from the approved suppliers, though being on the list does not guarantee any orders.

What the buyer wants

• Register on the NHS Supply Chain portal, express interest in ITT_2344, and respond to ITT_2345 (Lot 1: electrodes and CTG products), ITT_2346 (Lot 2: gels), or both. • Show you can supply medical products at national scale, with evidence of product compliance, quality systems, pricing and delivery capability across the UK. • Complete the Central Digital Platform registration and supply the financial, insurance and governance information the buyer requests.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small businesses would be disqualified by the need to be a registered medical device manufacturer or authorised distributor with national NHS-scale supply, quality certification and financial capacity to meet a framework worth around £140 million over its term.

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.
