Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Supply Chain, operated by Supply Chain Coordination Limited, has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of transcatheter heart valve repair, replacement, and associated devices. This significant open procurement was conducted under an open procedure (above threshold) and formed part of a non-exclusive framework agreement with a projected value of £880,000,000 over its term. The procurement process has moved to the award phase, with active contracts starting from 18th September 2023 through to 17th September 2027. This contract covers a broad geographical area including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World, and falls under the industry category of medical equipment (CPV code: 33100000). The procurement process was designed to be accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This framework agreement presents numerous opportunities for businesses within the medical equipment industry, particularly those specialising in high-cost, tariff-excluded medical devices. The involvement of multiple large and SME suppliers like Abbott Medical U.K. Ltd and Dot Medical Limited underscores the potential for diverse business types to secure a part of the substantial financial commitment, estimated at an initial expenditure between £130,000,000 and £160,000,000 in the first year. SMEs and innovative start-ups in the medical sector may find this an ideal platform to expand their operations and gain a strong foothold in the public procurement market, serving various NHS trusts and specialised services across England.
