Summary of the contracting process

The East of England NHS Collaborative Hub, operating under the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, is currently in the planning stage for a market engagement regarding Managed Neutral Vendor Services within the health services industry. This procurement process, which is set to explore the possibility of renewing the current framework, is in the planning stage and involves a total value of £40,000,000. Interested suppliers should engage by completing the questionnaire through the Atamis portal by 12.00pm on 10th March 2025. This engagement aims to gauge market interest and shape the future service specifications, with any resulting procurement process expected to use the Atamis eTendering system. The procurement covers various health-related services and equipment across the UK, including hospital and diagnostic services, endoscopy devices, and pathology instruments.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the health sector to connect with the East of England NHS Collaborative Hub and influence the framework for managed neutral vendor services. It is particularly suited for providers of hospital services, diagnostic devices, and medical specialist services who want to expand their market presence and collaborate with public health institutions. Participation in the pre-market engagement process can lead to significant business growth, especially for those capable of delivering a wide range of health-related services and supplies. Engaging in this process helps businesses understand the requirements and potentially secure a place in a framework lasting four years.
