## Summary

Kettering General Hospital has completed the procurement process for the supply of medical gases in cylinders. This process falls under the goods category and is classified within the medical gases industry, specifically under CPV 24111500. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded on 1st April 2026, with the contract period starting on 1st May 2026 and ending on 28th April 2029. The total contract value is £1,485,106 GBP. The primary delivery addresses include the UK and several international territories, reflecting a wide delivery scope.

This contract presents a significant business opportunity for suppliers in the medical gases sector, particularly those capable of handling large-scale distribution. Although the procurement is complete, the process indicates a recurrent demand for medical gases in public healthcare facilities, suggesting potential future tenders. Large-scale suppliers with a robust international distribution network are well-placed to compete for similar opportunities, as smaller enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises were not deemed suitable in this instance. Businesses interested in similar opportunities should stay informed about upcoming tenders from Kettering General Hospital and similar NHS Trusts.
