Likely requirements

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

This contract heavily favours established medical device manufacturers and distributors with existing NHS relationships, quality certifications (CE, ISO 13485), and national delivery infrastructure; a sole trader or small builder will be completely disqualified unless you are a registered medical device supplier with proven manufacturing capability.

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.
