## Summary

The NHS Supply Chain is planning a tender for "Clinical and Sharps Waste Management", which encompasses the disposal of sharps and non-sharp medical waste across various locations in the United Kingdom, including regions such as the North East, London, and the South East. The anticipated expenditure for the first year of the Framework Agreement is estimated to range from £16.4 million to £17.5 million. The contract period is set to commence on 7th August 2023 and will run until 6th August 2025, with a future notice date for further announcements on 11th January 2023. This procurement is currently in the planning stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in medical consumables and waste management services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Firms specialising in the production and disposal of medical products such as sharps containers, swab holders, and related management solutions are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement could help businesses expand their operations and secure long-term partnership prospects within the healthcare sector.

## Notice

Clinical and Sharps Waste Management covers the disposal of all sharps and non-sharp medical waste. This includes waste containers such as polypropylene based sharps and non-sharps containers, board-based containers and swab holders as well as sharps management products such as sharps pads, sharps boxes and blade removers. Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of PS16.4m to PS17.5m 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.
