Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

A health service buying body in Northern Ireland is setting up a framework agreement, which is a pre-approved list of suppliers that public bodies can order from later, for medical fridges, freezers and related equipment. The contract is split into three groups: pharmacy fridges, laboratory fridges, and blood bank fridges. The estimated total value is £1,339,658.

What the buyer wants

• Supply medical fridges, freezers and associated equipment for pharmacy, laboratory and blood bank use • Deliver the equipment to the buyer's sites • Be selected for one or more of the three lots to join the framework

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice lists no specific qualifications, certifications or turnover thresholds, so nothing in it rules out a small business outright, but the £1.3 million estimated value across three equipment lots suggests large supply volumes that a small firm may find hard to meet.

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.
