Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Supply Chain is initiating a tender for a Biopsy Products framework agreement, aimed at improving procurement for medical disposable consumables and haematological products. The anticipated contract will cover a range of items, including Biopsy Needles and Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Equipment. The initial estimated expenditure for the first year is between £7.5 million and £10.5 million, with a total estimated value of approximately £42 million over the contract's duration from 8th November 2022 to 7th November 2024. This procurement is currently in the planning stage and will potentially create significant opportunities for suppliers in Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in medical consumables, particularly those with innovative biopsy products or related technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is likely to favour flexible and responsive suppliers that can meet the evolving needs of the NHS. Companies eager to enter the healthcare sector or expand their existing offerings should consider this opportunity to collaborate with a key buyer in the public health space.
