This procurement involves the supply of combined needles and syringes for vaccination purposes, with products to be stored until required. The procurement is at the planning stage with an estimated contract value of GBP 13,000,000. The supplier will be required to deliver products to various regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. Key deadlines include the submission of Expressions of Interest and ward ready samples by Thursday, 27th February 2025. The contract period is anticipated to run from 28th November 2025 to 28th February 2027. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers equipped to produce and manage large volumes of medical supplies for stockpiling. Businesses specialising in medical supplies, such as needles and syringes, particularly those capable of ensuring long-term storage stability, would be well-suited to compete. Given the scale and scope of the tender, it is an attractive opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations led by voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to establish or strengthen their business relationship with NHS Supply Chain and contribute to crucial pandemic preparedness efforts in the UK. ## Notice This procurement is for the supply of combined needle and syringes products for use in vaccination delivery. The products will be held within a stockpile until required for use. It is important to note that this procurement is for products to be held in deep storage. Therefore, the requirements are very different from NHS Supply Chain business as usual arrangements. The product will be held palletised in standard racking for up to the duration of its shelf life and the product will only be issued as required, therefore product, packaging and pallet must be capable of being stored for its stated shelf life and must be fit for issue at any point from receipt to expiry date. These products will be distributed by NHS Supply Chain as required by The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The Supplier(s) awarded to this Contract will be required to deliver the required volume of the awarded products as stated within the tender documents to prescribed Movianto UK (or other nominated). It is anticipated that following volumes will be required: Product volume requirement for general population is 122,112,000 Product volume requirement for obese patients is 5,088,000 NHS Supply Chain anticipates engaging with suppliers of these products via an expression of interest and a Request for Information (RFI). Samples are being requested as part of this RFI, these will need to be ward ready samples (in the packaging as it would be delivered to the customer / end user) and provided to as part of the response to the RFI by no later than Thursday 27th February 2025. Further details are provided within the Request for Information (RFI) form. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afcb5645-61d5-4531-b093-1c0957087562 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Apr 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Nov 2025 - 28 Feb 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £13,000,000 | | 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 | NHS SUPPLY CHAIN | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8UG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33141310 - Syringes - 33141320 - Medical needles ## Release History - 30 Jan 2025 at 11:51 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afcb5645-61d5-4531-b093-1c0957087562 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afcb5645-61d5-4531-b093-1c0957087562 30th January 2025 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f50b419a-89aa-4da5-b8be-f7908e34462b n/a - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003079-2025 FTS Prior Information Notice ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
