This tender falls under the medical clothing industry category and is currently in the planning stage. The procurement process, classified as a GPO Open procurement exercise, is expected to commence with a projected total value of approximately £3 million. The contract period is set to start on 1st February 2018 and run until 1st February 2020, with an option to extend for an additional year. Future notice communication is anticipated on 15th September 2017, allowing interested parties to prepare their bids accordingly. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially SMEs involved in the healthcare supply sector, to engage with a nationally recognised contracting authority. Companies specialising in medical apparel and accessories would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework, especially those that can offer high-quality products that demonstrate a commitment to value and safety within the healthcare environment. The exclusive participation of HTE GPO members within this framework further ensures a committed customer base, thereby facilitating growth opportunities for suppliers ready to fulfil large volume orders over the specified contract period. ## Notice As the only national committed-model group purchasing organisation (GPO) in the UK, HealthTrust Europe is a healthcare partner concerned with its members who are delivering care within the local communities; as such we leverage the purchasing power of our GPO members in order to increase 'value' (Quality, Safety, Service & Price) through our contracting processes. We take clinical and commercial requirements to market on behalf of our members and undertake procurement activities aimed at obtaining the highest quality products and services at the best price for healthcare providers. Our clinically-driven sourcing process underpins our mission to strengthen provider performance and clinical excellence to ultimately improve healthcare in the communities we serve. This tender is to establish a framework for the supply of Disposable Headwear, Eyewear and Footwear. This ITT will be run as a GPO Open procurement exercise (meaning future GPO members may also call-off from the framework) and is exclusively limited to HTE GPO members who have agreed to participate and commit volume to the awarded supplier(s) for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further year. We are currently exploring options within this category and welcome feedback as how best to structure so as to achieve best value and an effective range of options for our members. We will be clarifying potential estimated value of this procurement as part of the pre-engagement exercise in response to this PIN. We currently estimate the total value to be in the region of PS3 million, ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5b31dc-2565-4694-93a5-7afd8aa4e2d9 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 14 Sep 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2018 - 1 Feb 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTHTRUST EUROPE LLP (HTE) ACTING AS AGENT FOR THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE NHS TRUST ("UHCW") | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 1NU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33199000 - Medical clothing ## Release History - 8 Jun 2017 at 10:19 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5b31dc-2565-4694-93a5-7afd8aa4e2d9 - 8 Jun 2017 at 10:17 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5b31dc-2565-4694-93a5-7afd8aa4e2d9 - 8 Jun 2017 at 10:17 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5b31dc-2565-4694-93a5-7afd8aa4e2d9 - 8 Jun 2017 at 07:53 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5b31dc-2565-4694-93a5-7afd8aa4e2d9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5b31dc-2565-4694-93a5-7afd8aa4e2d9 8th June 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
