Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited procured a national framework for peripheral intravenous cannulas and associated products for use across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers short-term devices for accessing veins to deliver fluids or medicines and to take blood samples, excluding central-vein access. Product types include safety and non-safety cannulas, winged, ported and straight cannulas, subcutaneous infusion sets, metal needle winged devices with extensions, safety integrated cannula or closed-loop systems, and safety cannulation packs. Accessories that improve the efficiency and accuracy of cannulation, including training aids, are also included. This is a goods procurement, classified under CPV 33141220 for cannulae. The framework is intended for NHS bodies and other purchasing organisations using Supply Chain Coordination Limited’s arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 6 July 2026 through an open procedure as a closed framework with reopening of competition. The framework has one lot and was awarded to Airglove Medical, B. Braun Medical, Balmung Medical Handel, Crest Medical, Critical Healthcare, Fannin UK, GBUK, Greiner Bio-One, Infutech, ITL Australia, Javelo Health, Mediq Healthcare UK, Nipro Medical UK, OscarTech UK, Prosum Medical, Reflex Medical, Smiths Medical International, SOL-MILLENNIUM UK, Terumo UK, Unomedical and Vygon (UK). The awarded value is £140,000,000 excluding VAT, or £168,000,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend to 31 March 2031. Evaluation weighted price at 55%, training at 25%, and social value and resilience, complaints and service at 10% each.

This opportunity demonstrates substantial NHS demand for a broad, clinically diverse range of cannulation products and related accessories, supplied through a framework capable of supporting purchasing across the United Kingdom. The 22 final-stage bids, including 16 from SMEs, show that both established manufacturers and smaller specialist suppliers can compete. A credible future supplier would need reliable access to compliant peripheral cannulas, infusion sets, safety systems, packs and accessories, together with the capacity to support national distribution and varying NHS requirements. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing is important, but so are practical training provision, social value, service quality, complaint handling and supply resilience. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence dependable fulfilment, effective customer support, product expertise and meaningful training arrangements.
