Summary of the contracting process

The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (EOECPH) is inviting suppliers to bid for an Emergency Medical Consumables and Equipment (EMC&E) Framework Agreement. This tender, initiated by the EOECPH, aims to establish a procurement framework for ambulance services across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Wight. The framework includes four lots: Emergency Medical Consumables, Emergency Medical Equipment, EMC&E Distributor, and EMC&E Wholesaler. The deadline for submission of bids is 30 September 2024 at 1.00pm. The framework is set to commence on 31 December 2024 and will be active for three years without an extension option. The procurement stage is currently in the Tender phase, with the procurement method being an open procedure above the threshold. The framework primarily targets the medical equipment and consumables category, with an estimated contract value ranging between £9,000,000 and £12,000,000.

Business growth opportunities through this tender are significant, as the framework aims to work in partnership with UK ambulance services to aggregate spending, drive cost savings, standardise products and services, and improve staff access to necessary items. This tender is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Suppliers involved in manufacturing, distributing, or wholesaling medical consumables and equipment are well-placed to benefit, especially those with experience in serving healthcare providers. The collaboration with the National Ambulance Procurement Board means successful bidders will have the opportunity to influence procurement across multiple UK regions, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and expanded market reach.
