Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation is setting up a framework agreement to supply community and healthcare equipment (mobility aids, bedroom equipment, bathroom aids, seating, etc.) and related services to NHS and public sector organisations across England. Suppliers will be appointed to a list, and public bodies will then place individual orders directly with them.

What the buyer wants

• Supply community care equipment across multiple categories (mobility aids, seating, bedroom equipment, bathroom aids, kitchen aids, living aids, paediatric equipment, multi-sensory equipment) • Provide associated services including delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, decontamination, refurbishment, training and storage • Offer managed services for technology-enabled care products and software solutions

Lots

Likely requirements

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

This is a very large national framework (estimated value £600 million) with 12 separate lots requiring significant infrastructure, compliance certifications, insurance, warehousing, logistics, and service delivery capability across England. Most small sole traders and micro-businesses will not meet the financial turnover requirements, insurance thresholds, or operational scale needed to compete effectively.

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.
