UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management is exploring a theatre waste management solution combining clinical-waste disposal services with medical equipment. The requirement is classified primarily as goods, with associated services, and is intended for delivery in the North East of England. The stated purpose is to assess whether a contract can be established for managing waste generated in theatre environments. Suppliers operating in healthcare waste management, clinical waste collection and disposal, and the supply or integration of medical equipment may be relevant. The requirement is presented as one combined package rather than separate lots. It is intended to support the buyer’s healthcare facilities and their theatre-related waste management needs.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is being used for preliminary market engagement, not as an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to issue a further notice on 26 October 2026. Suppliers are being asked to complete a Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire, with the revised response date stated as 12:00 noon on 14 September 2026. The planned contract period is 1 January to 31 December 2027. One lot is identified, with the procurement marked above the relevant threshold and suitable for SMEs. The published procurement value is £0 gross in GBP. No procurement procedure, award method or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage. The buyer’s stated aim is to test feasibility before establishing a contract.

This engagement is most relevant to suppliers that can manage clinical and theatre waste safely and compliantly, and to businesses able to provide, integrate or support medical equipment associated with a theatre waste solution. Experience working in NHS or other healthcare environments is likely to be useful, particularly where services must operate around clinical activity, infection-control requirements and documented waste-handling procedures. Providers should be prepared to explain their operational model, treatment and disposal arrangements, equipment capability, service coverage and approach to regulatory compliance. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist waste contractors, healthcare service providers, equipment suppliers and capable partnerships may wish to prepare for the future procurement rather than bid now.
