Bottles Tenders and Contracts

Bottle supply tenders cover bottled water and water cooler contracts for offices, schools and depots, sterile, specimen and laboratory bottles for NHS trusts and water companies, feeding bottles for infant care, and branded reusable bottles bought in bulk by emergency services and councils.

Stotles brings together bottle supply tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. NHS Supply Chain runs national frameworks for infant feeding bottles, and laboratory media is often bought through shared hospital group frameworks.

Bottles in contact with food, drink or medicines must meet food contact or relevant medical device rules, and water coolers must meet hygiene and servicing standards. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar supply contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Both. National frameworks cover infant feeding bottles, laboratory culture media and blood collection bottles through NHS Supply Chain and regional procurement hubs, while individual councils, trusts and ambulance services also run smaller one-off purchases for reusable or insulated bottles and bottled water supply.

NHS trusts and water companies buy laboratory, specimen and sample bottles for testing and clinical use. NHS Supply Chain runs national frameworks for infant feeding bottles. Councils, fire and ambulance services buy branded reusable and insulated bottles for staff and residents, and universities, courts and government offices run water cooler and bottled water contracts for their sites.

Read water cooler and bottled water contract expiry dates, laboratory media framework renewals, estates and facilities plans and ambulance and fire service equipment budgets, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Bottle-related notices commonly carry CPV codes 41110000 (Drinking water), 31141000 (Water coolers) and 24931250 (Culture medium), alongside general food and beverage codes on bottled water contracts.
