It is a framework worth up to £100,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 22 months, up to 45 months with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

It is split into 6 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Bids close at midday, Thursday 3 December 2026.

How bids are scored

Quality 60% · Price 40%

Quality matters most. You can win without being the cheapest.

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for medical supplies contracts across the UK (from 964 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £100,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

Conditions

  • Suppliers pay a fee of 3% of the value of work won through this framework.

The buyer expects to buy this again around September 2029.
