UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited intends to establish a UK-wide framework for technology-enabled community care products and related services. The scope covers communication aids, including augmentative and alternative communication products, interface and access devices, environmental controls, accessories, maintenance and support; mounting equipment for assistive technology on wheelchairs, furniture and beds; patient alarms, sensors and other monitoring and safety technologies; and lone-worker devices and systems. The procurement is mainly for medical aids, disability and elderly-care equipment, medical computer equipment, alarm systems, communications infrastructure, and maintenance of information technology equipment. It is classified as goods. The framework is intended to enhance independence, safety, accessibility and communication for people with diverse needs, while also supporting the safety of lone workers. Delivery is across the United Kingdom.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced its intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The expected route is a framework agreement, with one lot, and an estimated value of £15 million excluding VAT (£18 million including VAT). The buyer expects the resulting contract to run from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2031. A tender or transparency notice is currently expected on 1 December 2026. Pre-market engagement includes feedback on the draft specification and proposed lotting structure, accepted between 31 August and 11 September 2026, followed by a supplier webinar expected in October 2026. Expressions of interest for engagement are due by 16 October 2026. Suppliers should treat these as planning expectations rather than tender deadlines. The framework is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The work will suit manufacturers, specialist distributors, technology providers and service organisations supplying assistive communication, environmental control, mounting, monitoring, alarm, lone-worker or related support solutions. Relevant suppliers should prepare evidence covering sales, manufacturing, storage and distribution across their supply chain. Future tenderers are expected to hold ISO 9001:2015, BS EN ISO 13485:2016 or UKAS-accredited Medical Device Single Audit Program certification, or an international equivalent, across the relevant segments. CE certification and declarations of conformity will be required where applicable. Organisations handling patient or personal data, or supplying IT systems, services or devices, will need Cyber Essentials Plus. Other expected requirements include a Modern Slavery Assessment Tool score of at least 41%, Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment Level 1, and a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan. Larger suppliers must also publish a modern slavery statement.
