Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is facilitating a procurement process for a framework concerning the procurement of Powered Respirator Protective Suits (PRPS). This planned procurement is intended to allow various NHS Trusts and integrated care boards to acquire specialist personal protective equipment used in hazardous material and clinical decontamination incidents. The framework is not indicative of immediate expenditure but may require a new business case if implemented later. The tender, categorized under medical equipment and related products, is currently in the planning stage with an estimated value of £27,000,000 net (£32,400,000 gross). The contract period is expected to commence on 1st December 2025 and conclude on 30th November 2029, with a communications update scheduled for 1st September 2025. This procurement falls under the goods category and will take place in London, under the oversight of NHS England, a central government public authority.

This procurement presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in the production and supply of medical equipment and personal protective gear. Companies with the capability to provide high-quality respiratory protective suits will find this tender particularly relevant, especially those with expertise in emergency response equipment. Engaging in this contract could foster business growth by establishing long-term partnerships with NHS organisations and enhancing a company's portfolio within the public health sector. Businesses well-versed in navigating government frameworks and those with innovative safety solutions are well-positioned to benefit significantly from this opportunity.
