Summary of the contracting process

NHS Supply Chain is buying orthopaedic products and services for use in orthopaedic, trauma and spinal procedures across the UK. The requirement covers three areas: implants and consumables, orthopaedic theatre equipment, and services and solutions supporting patient treatment. Products include joint-replacement and spinal implants, fixation devices, surgical instruments and consumables; equipment includes robotics, imaging, navigation, power tools and fluid-management systems. Services include equipment management and servicing, technical support, patient and procedure-planning software, wearable devices, operational-efficiency programmes and other healthcare solutions. The framework is intended for NHS organisations and other public bodies, as well as private-sector organisations active in UK healthcare. NHS Supply Chain will contract with appointed suppliers, while orders will be placed through the Authority for eligible purchasing organisations.

The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure to establish a closed framework agreement, with further competitions for call-off contracts. The procurement is divided into three lots: implants and consumables, orthopaedic equipment, and services and solutions. The stated contract period is 1 February 2028 to 31 January 2032. Estimated values are £2.87712bn for Lot 1, £108m for Lot 2 and £86.4m for Lot 3, excluding VAT. Tenders were due by 14 December 2026 at 15:00; enquiries by 4 December 2026 at 15:00. Evaluation for each lot weights discount 30%, efficiency 25%, patients and staff 10%, supply chain 10%, purpose 15% and social value 10%. The Authority reserved the right to require a particular legal form or joint and several liability from supplier groupings.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide specialist orthopaedic, trauma or spine products, equipment, or supporting services and solutions. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable for Lots 2 and 3; Lot 1 spans a broad range of implant and consumable categories, from primary joint replacement and fracture fixation to spine, arthroscopy, regenerative technology and custom implants. Suppliers need relevant quality-management certification covering their supply chain: ISO 9001, ISO 13485 or an accredited Medical Device Single Audit Program certification. Applicable products require CE certification and declarations of conformity. Tenderers must meet sustainability and supply-chain requirements, including a Modern Slavery Assessment Tool score of at least 41%, Evergreen Level 1 and a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan.
