Summary of the contracting process

SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED, a sub-central government public authority based in London, is in the planning stage of procuring a National Framework Agreement for Medical Examination Gloves. This procurement process involves the potential establishment of separate frameworks for different glove types, specifically Medical Examination and Surgical Gloves, to cater to distinct market needs and specifications. Interested suppliers are invited to express their interest by 16:00 GMT on 1st September 2026, with individual engagement meetings expected to occur beginning August 2026. The procurement is anticipated to conclude around the end of October 2026, with key communications managed through email from Surgical.PPE@supplychain.nhs.uk. The procurement falls under the goods category with a significant initial framework value estimate of £85 million, projected to reach £250 million over four years.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for businesses focused on supplying medical examination gloves. Companies with strong capabilities in manufacturing, supply chain management, sustainability, and regulatory compliance are well-suited to compete. The framework accommodates small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, encouraging broader participation. Successful tenderers will have the potential to supply to various NHS entities, private healthcare organisations, and government bodies throughout the UK, fostering growth and market expansion for businesses that secure a position on this framework.

Notice Title

Medical Examination Gloves

Notice Description

Supply Chain Coordination Limited ("NHS Supply Chain") intends to procure a National Framework Agreement for the supply of Medical Examination Gloves including but not limited to: 6N Examination Gloves: 6N Nitrile Exam Gloves Examination Gloves Specialised Vinyl Examination Gloves Latex Examination Gloves Following further review of the category strategy, market landscape, and customer requirements, it has been concluded that Medical Examination Gloves and Surgical Gloves will be procured through separate frameworks. Whilst the original PME notice (2025/S 000-052117) indicated an intention to combine the two categories into a single framework, subsequent analysis identified that they operate as distinct markets with differing customer needs, supply bases, technical specifications, and procurement considerations. In addition, the categories are subject to different commercial models, pricing mechanisms, market dynamics, and contract management requirements. Maintaining separate frameworks will enable a more tailored procurement approach for each category, support effective category management, and better align with customer and market needs. This revised approach is expected to enhance supplier engagement, promote competition, and provide greater flexibility to respond to future market developments and evolving customer demand. We are looking at ways to review the procurement strategy and simplify commercials in terms of agreements and pricing points, rationalise ranges for stocked product. This framework will continue to incorporate sustainability requirements for third party social audits across Medical Examination Gloves. NHS Supply Chain is assessing the most appropriate procurement approach, including the possible establishment of a Dynamic Market and the tendering procedures that may be used for future contract awards. The Framework Agreement will be entered into between the Authority and individual Supplier(s). The Authority may purchase goods under the Framework Agreement, which will be made available for purchase by: * any NHS Trust; * any other NHS entity; * any government department, agency or other statutory body (for the avoidance of doubt including local authorities); and/or * any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector. The award of a place on the Framework Agreement does not guarantee any commitment by the Authority or its customers to place any orders under the Framework Agreement. To participate in NHS Supply Chain procurements, Tenderers must be registered on the Central Digital Platform (CDP) and have shared their information with NHS Supply Chain via the CDP. The CDP is available at: https://www.gov.uk/findtender Please ensure your details match your account details in Jaggaer, Companies House and CDP. It is the Suppliers responsibility to ensure the account set up in Jaggaer is in the correct company name. For example, if the name has been set up incorrectly or the business has had changes to its organisation we recommend the following: Incorrect Name (such as typo) - Contact Jaggaer via the help options (seen on page after logging in) and explain that the details are incorrect and provide correct details. Company organisation Changes - 2 options: Note: Audit trails need to be maintained in Jaggaer which makes it difficult to allow changes to business that have had significant changes such as merges of businesses or been purchased by other organisations. Option 1: Create a new account with new name (preferred). Option 2: Current account - Contact Jaggaer via the help options (seen on page after logging in) and provide details of the changes (such as a company name change document from companies house). Tenderers must also be registered on Jaggaer, as all tender activity will be conducted through this system. The Tenderer is responsible for ensuring that its Jaggaer account is set up in the correct company name and that all information is kept up to date. Jaggaer can be accessed via https://nhssupplychain.app.jaggaer.com The Authority estimates that, in the first 12 months of the Framework, the total value of purchases will be approximately PS85,000,000. Over the full 48-month term, the estimated total value is approximately PS250,000,000 These values are indicative only and do not constitute any guarantee of business with successful Tenderers. The following requirements are anticipated to apply but are not exhaustive and may be updated in accordance with applicable legislation and/or relevant guidance (please refer to the requirements set out in the ITT): * ISO Certification Tenderers must hold ISO 9001: 2015, ISO 13485:2016 or Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) certification, accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) or internationally recognised equivalent. The certification must cover all relevant elements of the Tenderer's and the product(s)' supply chain, including (but not be limited to) sales, manufacturing, storage and distribution. Acceptable UKAS alternatives are listed at: https://global-aci.org/en/full-members * CE Certification and Declaration of Conformity Where applicable, valid CE Certification and Declarations of Conformity must be submitted at the tender submission stage. * Modern Slavery Statement Tenderers with an annual turnover of PS36 million or more must comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, publish an annually updated Modern Slavery Statement on their website, and provide a link to that statement. * Modern Slavery Assessment Tool (MSAT) Tenderers must have achieved an MSAT score of 41% or above within 12 months prior to the tender close date. The assessment results must be shared with NHS Supply Chain via the 'share' function on the Supplier Registration Service (SRS) Portal, available at: https://supplierregistration.cabinetoffice.gov.uk * Third-party Audit Tenderers must provide evidence of third-party social audits for manufacturing facilities supplying products under the Framework. Audit requirements are expected to include assessment against forced labour risks, including the 11 International Labour Organisation (ILO) Forced Labour Indicators.

Further details will be provided within the ITT documentation. * Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment Tenderers must have completed the Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment and achieved Level 1 or above within 12 months prior to the Tender Close Date. Guidance and access are available at: https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-commercial/central-commercialfunction-ccf/evergreen * Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) Tenderers must provide a valid Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) link on their website that meets the requirements of PPN 006. * Cyber Security Tenderers that handle patient or personal data, or provide IT systems, services, or devices, must either: * hold a valid Cyber Essentials Plus Certificate; or * where the Tenderer does not have a Cyber Essentials Plus Certificate, submit a completed Information Security Third Party Questionnaire (ISTPQ). * Distribution Agreements If tendering as a Distributor, the Tenderer must provide written evidence from the relevant Original Equipment Manufacturer(s) (OEM) confirming that they have rights to distribute goods for the Term as defined in the Framework Agreement Award Pack.

        "description": "Supply Chain Coordination Limited (\"NHS Supply Chain\") intends to procure a National Framework Agreement for the supply of Medical Examination Gloves including but not limited to: 6N Examination Gloves: 6N Nitrile Exam Gloves Examination Gloves Specialised Vinyl Examination Gloves Latex Examination Gloves Following further review of the category strategy, market landscape, and customer requirements, it has been concluded that Medical Examination Gloves and Surgical Gloves will be procured through separate frameworks. Whilst the original PME notice (2025/S 000-052117) indicated an intention to combine the two categories into a single framework, subsequent analysis identified that they operate as distinct markets with differing customer needs, supply bases, technical specifications, and procurement considerations. In addition, the categories are subject to different commercial models, pricing mechanisms, market dynamics, and contract management requirements. Maintaining separate frameworks will enable a more tailored procurement approach for each category, support effective category management, and better align with customer and market needs. This revised approach is expected to enhance supplier engagement, promote competition, and provide greater flexibility to respond to future market developments and evolving customer demand. We are looking at ways to review the procurement strategy and simplify commercials in terms of agreements and pricing points, rationalise ranges for stocked product. This framework will continue to incorporate sustainability requirements for third party social audits across Medical Examination Gloves. NHS Supply Chain is assessing the most appropriate procurement approach, including the possible establishment of a Dynamic Market and the tendering procedures that may be used for future contract awards. The Framework Agreement will be entered into between the Authority and individual Supplier(s). The Authority may purchase goods under the Framework Agreement, which will be made available for purchase by: * any NHS Trust; * any other NHS entity; * any government department, agency or other statutory body (for the avoidance of doubt including local authorities); and/or * any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector. The award of a place on the Framework Agreement does not guarantee any commitment by the Authority or its customers to place any orders under the Framework Agreement. To participate in NHS Supply Chain procurements, Tenderers must be registered on the Central Digital Platform (CDP) and have shared their information with NHS Supply Chain via the CDP. The CDP is available at: https://www.gov.uk/findtender Please ensure your details match your account details in Jaggaer, Companies House and CDP. It is the Suppliers responsibility to ensure the account set up in Jaggaer is in the correct company name. For example, if the name has been set up incorrectly or the business has had changes to its organisation we recommend the following: Incorrect Name (such as typo) - Contact Jaggaer via the help options (seen on page after logging in) and explain that the details are incorrect and provide correct details. Company organisation Changes - 2 options: Note: Audit trails need to be maintained in Jaggaer which makes it difficult to allow changes to business that have had significant changes such as merges of businesses or been purchased by other organisations. Option 1: Create a new account with new name (preferred). Option 2: Current account - Contact Jaggaer via the help options (seen on page after logging in) and provide details of the changes (such as a company name change document from companies house). Tenderers must also be registered on Jaggaer, as all tender activity will be conducted through this system. The Tenderer is responsible for ensuring that its Jaggaer account is set up in the correct company name and that all information is kept up to date. Jaggaer can be accessed via https://nhssupplychain.app.jaggaer.com The Authority estimates that, in the first 12 months of the Framework, the total value of purchases will be approximately PS85,000,000. Over the full 48-month term, the estimated total value is approximately PS250,000,000 These values are indicative only and do not constitute any guarantee of business with successful Tenderers.
