Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited is planning to procure neuromodulation devices and related products and services for use across the United Kingdom. The scope includes stimulators, surgical implants, catheters, infusion pumps and medical consumables, together with associated services. The stated purpose is to support safe, reliable and innovative solutions that improve patient outcomes, maintain continuity of supply and meet regulatory requirements. The buyer also wants suppliers to support collaboration and continuous improvement. This is a single-lot procurement and is intended to use a framework agreement. The products and services are for delivery across the UK.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. The procurement is planned as a framework agreement, with one lot. The estimated value is £455,328,156 excluding VAT (£546,393,787 including VAT). The buyer expects the next notice on 1 February 2027. Pre-market engagement is planned, including supplier workshops and feedback on the draft specification during September and October 2026; the buyer expects to share an information request and later a draft specification with interested suppliers. The intended contract period is 18 March 2028 to 17 March 2032. The lot is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is likely to suit medical-device manufacturers, suppliers and distributors able to provide neuromodulation products and associated services at scale across a complex supply chain. The buyer’s stated priorities include safe and reliable supply, regulatory compliance, positive patient outcomes, value beyond purchase cost, whole-life cost-effectiveness, sustainable packaging and remote care, and supply-chain resilience. Required quality-system evidence is expected to cover the supplier and product supply chain, including sales, manufacturing, storage and distribution: acceptable routes include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 or an accredited Medical Device Single Audit Program certification. CE certification and declarations of conformity will be relevant where applicable. Further requirements include modern-slavery measures, an MSAT score of at least 41%, Evergreen Level 1, a compliant carbon reduction plan and Cyber Essentials Plus where suppliers handle personal or patient data or provide IT systems, services or devices.
