Medical Supply Contracts and Tenders

See open medical supply tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Medical supply procurement covers consumables such as wound care products, lymphoedema compression bandages and hosiery, and sharps containers, along with capital equipment including diagnostic imaging and theatre equipment. Surgical equipment and consumables, and clinical waste collection and disposal, also come up. Maintenance and repair contracts for the same equipment come up as well.

Medical supply buying is mostly call-offs from national NHS framework agreements split into lots by product area, and trusts also run market engagement ahead of larger equipment purchases. NHS trusts, NHS Supply Chain, ambulance services and councils buying for care homes are the buyers of medical supplies.

  • What counts as medical supply procurement?

    It sits mostly with NHS trusts, ambulance services and NHS Supply Chain frameworks rather than any one buyer type. Maintenance and repair contracts for the same kit surface here too, because they run through the same framework notices as the original purchase.

  • Are NHS services and healthcare tenders included?

    No. The services side is excluded. Clinical services, GP practice contracts and public health commissioning sit elsewhere.

  • What CPV codes cover medical supply tenders?

    Medical supply notices carry 33140000 (Medical consumables), and many NHS notices for individual products carry the same general heading.

  • Who buys medical supplies and equipment in the public sector?

    NHS trusts and NHS Supply Chain frameworks account for most of what's here, buying consumables and equipment for wards, theatres and ambulances. Ambulance services run their own smaller call-off agreements for kit like slings, hoists and wheelchairs, and councils buy medical furniture and first aid supplies for care homes and community settings. Buyers range from a single trust replacing one piece of kit to a national framework covering hundreds of suppliers.

  • Which frameworks are used to buy medical supplies in the UK public sector?

    NHS Shared Business Services runs a framework for advanced wound care and lymphoedema compression bandages and hosiery, and NHS trusts call off from it for lymphoedema products. NHS Supply Chain also runs national pricing matrix agreements for advanced wound care, and trusts such as Gloucestershire Hospitals and Gloucestershire Health and Care buy dressings through them.

    Clinical, sharps and medical waste collection is bought from the ESPO washroom services framework. Councils and fire and rescue authorities, including Leicester City Council and West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority, call off from it, including by direct award.

  • How do I find medical supply contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read commissioning intentions, service reviews, market position statements and Provider Selection Regime notices, which show medical supply work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the commissioners behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
