## Summary

The NHS Supply Chain, operating through Supply Chain Coordination Limited (SCCL), has successfully completed the procurement process for establishing a Framework Agreement for Pressure Area Care and Patient Handling. This procurement, using an open procedure method, was focused on the supply of medical use beds and associated products. It culminated in December 2025 with the active award of contracts worth approximately £198,450,000 to several suppliers, including SMEs and large enterprises, to service regions across the United Kingdom such as North East, North West, and London, among others. The framework will operate from March 2026 to March 2028, following its original planning phase dating back to July 2024.

This framework opens various opportunities for businesses looking to supply goods and services related to pressure area care, providing considerable room for growth over the four-year term. The framework's division into specific lots caters well to manufacturers and suppliers in the healthcare sector, offering both small and large companies the chance to engage in direct and indirect contracting options. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly suited to compete given the tender's emphasis on inclusive participation and the potential for added customer savings through discounted pricing and bulk buying initiatives. This creates a dynamic market environment for organisations aiming to expand their footprint in the NHS supply chain network.
