## Summary

The NHS Supply Chain is initiating a procurement process for the "Daily Living Aids including Walking Aids" framework agreement. This initiative falls within the medical equipment and personal care products category, targeting regions across England, including the North East, London, and the South West. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a projected budget of approximately £7.3 million for the first year, leading up to an estimated total budget of £28.96 million over the framework's full duration from November 2019 to October 2023. This opportunity is being pursued via an open procurement method, aligned with the above-threshold regulations, and is designed to cater to various healthcare entities that will utilise these aids.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers specializing in medical equipment and personal care products, including those that manufacture walking aids, bathing aids, and spare parts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they can effectively meet the diverse needs of the NHS and other public sector clients. Businesses that can demonstrate innovation in product design or provide tailored solutions for daily living needs will be particularly well-positioned to compete for contracts under this framework agreement.
