## Summary

NHS Supply Chain is planning a tender for catheter accessories, aimed at healthcare providers across the United Kingdom. The anticipated expenditure for the first year of the framework agreement is between GBP 50,000 and GBP 100,000. Key milestones include an engagement end date set for 15 October 2018, indicating crucial planning and market engagement activities leading up to the tender. This procurement process falls under the healthcare industry category and is currently at the planning stage, preparing for the subsequent tendering phase.

This opportunity may present significant growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in medical supplies, particularly those focused on infection control and catheter technology. Companies equipped to meet the specifications of sterile catheter accessories and those capable of delivering across multiple regions, including North East, London, and the South West, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with NHS Supply Chain in this tender could enable businesses to establish long-term partnerships in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

Catheter inflation solution to hold the catheter in place in the bladder of the patients. Sterile solution that consists of purified water, macrogol, macrogolglycerolhydroxystearate and Triclosan. The Triclosan is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, which is used in catheters that may remain in-situ up to 4 weeks and is designed to protect the outer surface of the catheter from bacterial colonisation and subsequent encrustation when in place over a long time. Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of GBP 50 000 to GBP 100 000 in the first year of this framework agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the framework agreement.
