This procurement falls under the medical supplies industry category and is classified as an open procedure. The deadline for submitting tenders is 28 November 2017, while questions for clarification must be submitted by 17 November 2017. The contract will start on 5 March 2018 and will run until 4 March 2021, with delivery addresses primarily located in London, UK. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, particularly those that can meet the BS8599 standard for first aid kits. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the tender is suitable for their participation. Companies with experience in dealing with government contracts or those already registered on the BravoSolution portal will find it advantageous when competing for this contract. ## Notice The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has a requirement for the supply of vaccines, pharmaceutical, medical supplies to FCO clinics in Islamabad, Nairobi and New Delhi and the supply of first aid kits to all 270 FCO posts in 170 countries. All first aid kits should be BS8599 standard so they are complaint with the First Aid Act 1981. On occasion there may be a need to purchase Potassium Iodate supplies as determined by Department of Health policy. This will be an occasional requirement and not a regular purchase. The contract will be used primarily by the FCO but will be open for other Government departments to use if required. Additional information: Invitation To Tender documents are available at https://fco.bravosolution.co.uk (project_1382 / itt_2029). Unless already registered, interested suppliers must register on the portal to gain access. Registration is a one-time activity and is free of charge.
