This contract was executed via a direct award under the NHS Supply Chain framework focused on "Laboratory Diagnostics, Point of Care Testing and Pathology." The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, amounting to £690,000 GBP. The contract, set to commence on 23rd June 2026 and conclude on 30th April 2027, targets the medical consumables industry category. The delivery location specified is Bristol, United Kingdom (Postal Code: BS34 7QH).

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of medical consumables, particularly those capable of fulfilling bulk orders within the specified time frame. Given that the procurement is via a framework, large-scale businesses with existing framework agreements or the ability to engage in such frameworks would be particularly well-suited to compete. Suppliers like Becton, Dickinson U.K. Limited, who have already secured this contract, exemplify the calibre of organisations expected to thrive in this competitive landscape.
