Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Supply Chain is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of harm reduction products, including needles, syringes, and related supplies, to support needle exchange and harm protection services across various regions in the United Kingdom. The initial expenditure is projected to be approximately £1,350,000 excluding VAT in the first year, with a total estimated value of £5,400,000 excluding VAT over the potential four-year duration of the framework. The tender was published on 9th July 2018, and the formal tender period concluded on 1st August 2018, following an open procurement method as defined by the open procedure, applicable for contracts above the threshold.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of medical goods, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in manufacturing or distributing medical supplies and harm reduction products will be well-positioned to compete, especially those capable of providing bespoke or pre-assembled packs tailored to the requirements of NHS Supply Chain customers, in line with the government's drug strategy. Engaging in this framework can bolster suppliers' visibility and expand their market reach within the healthcare sector.
