Suppliers register on its Bravo Solution e-tendering portal to bid for opportunities. Larger contracts are also advertised on the Find a Tender service. Some equipment and maintenance work is sourced through NHS Supply Chain. New builds, the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital and Cambridge Children's Hospital, are driving IT and construction tenders.
