NHS Supply Chain is planning a procurement process for the supply of Super Absorbent Gel products, which are intended for use in cleaning fluid spillages. This procurement falls within the medical consumables industry category and will take place in the UK. The initial estimated contract value is £668,000, with an expected first-year expenditure of around £167,000. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an invitation to tender anticipated to be issued on 17 September 2021. Suppliers interested in this opportunity are encouraged to engage with NHS Supply Chain through a Request for Information (RFI) via their eProcurement Portal.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for companies involved in the medical supplies sector, particularly those that manufacture or distribute cleaning products and medical consumables. Businesses that hold the necessary certifications, including ISO9001:2015 and appropriate liability insurance, will be best positioned to compete for this contract. Given that NHS Supply Chain will make the products available to various NHS Trusts and other public health entities, this is a prime opportunity for growth within the healthcare supply chain.
