Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited is leading a tender process for the procurement of "Disposable and Washable Continence Care" products under an open procedure. The framework agreement, with an anticipated initial yearly expenditure of approximately £84,000,000 and a total estimated value of £335,000,000 over four years, is specifically designed to support NHS entities and various government and private sector organisations in the UK healthcare sector. Located in London, the buyer is a public authority under sub-central government classification. The tender, which is currently in the Tender stage, outlines a comprehensive framework involving several product categories, such as adult pull-up pants, paediatric products, washable items, and sensor technology. Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest by 4 August 2025, with the contract award expected to be finalised by 15 December 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, particularly those specialising in continence care. With an open procurement method, it encourages a wide participation of suppliers, including those capable of providing innovative solutions like sensor technology for remote monitoring. Companies that can offer competitive pricing, high-quality service and supply, as well as demonstrate social value and sustainability, will be well-suited to compete. The framework's renewal possibility for an additional two years further presents a long-term growth opportunity for suppliers who establish themselves as key providers within this essential sector.
