Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Supply Chain is planning to initiate a tender for "Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy" products, classified under the medical equipment industry category. This procurement aims to cover a range of items with an anticipated initial expenditure between £2,000,000 and £3,000,000 in the first year, and an estimated total value of £8,000,000 to £12,000,000 over the four-year framework. The engagement end date for interested parties to submit their inputs is scheduled for 7th November 2019. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with an invitation to tender expected to be issued separately in the near future. The products will primarily be used across various NHS entities, government departments, and private sector organisations in healthcare.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in the healthcare supply chain. Companies that specialise in the provision of physiotherapy and occupational health products, including consumables and equipment, will find this framework advantageous. As the NHS Supply Chain seeks suppliers who can demonstrate quality standards such as ISO 9001:2015, businesses equipped to meet these requirements and demonstrate competitive pricing strategies may stand a strong chance of success in this procurement opportunity.
