This contract involves the supply of orthotic services and products within the North East region of England. Hugh Steeper Limited has been appointed as the supplier through a selective procurement process, specifically a call-off from the NHS Shared Business Services framework, Lot 2: Orthotic Services (SBS10247). The contract commenced on 8th August 2025 and is set to run for 12 months, with an optional extension for an additional 12 months. The total contract value is set at £93,600. This awarding is part of the healthcare sector, under the CPV classification 85111600 for orthotic services.

This procurement contract represents a significant opportunity for providers of orthotic services to engage with a large and reputable NHS Trust.

Businesses specialising in orthotics or those looking to enter the healthcare products market could leverage such opportunities to grow their operations, provided they are able to engage with framework agreements or similar procurement methods in future tenders. While this contract was awarded to a large company, there may still be potential for smaller enterprises to find subcontracting opportunities within such frameworks, enhancing their experience and visibility in this sector.
