Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

NHS Supply Chain Coordination is setting up a large framework agreement, worth about £250 million, for hospital and clinical monitoring equipment. The equipment measures blood oxygen, exhaled carbon dioxide, tissue oxygen and blood gas levels in patients, and includes finger clips, wrist and hand-held devices, bedside monitors and the disposable and reusable sensors, cables and wraps that go with them.

What the buyer wants

• Supply monitoring devices and their consumables (sensors, cables, wraps) to NHS organisations at agreed prices over the life of the framework • Show that your products are certified as medical devices (CE marking with declarations of conformity) and that your quality management system is independently certified (ISO 13485, ISO 9001 or MDSAP) across sales, storage and distribution • Provide the supplier compliance evidence listed in the notice, including a modern slavery assessment score, a sustainability assessment and a carbon reduction plan

Likely requirements

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

The combined requirement for UKAS-accredited medical device quality certification, CE declarations for every product, and a high-value framework with a Level One sustainability assessment and an MSAT score would rule out most small businesses unless they already manufacture or distribute medical devices at scale.

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.
