## Summary

The NHS Supply Chain is currently engaged in the award phase of a procurement process titled "Daily Living Aids including Walking Aids." This initiative falls within the medical equipment sector, with an estimated total contract value of £28,960,000 over its duration, which begins on November 1, 2019, and concludes on November 1, 2023. The tender was published on March 5, 2019, and the procurement method follows an open procedure, allowing for competitive submissions. The items will be delivered across the United Kingdom and related territories.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that can supply medical aids like crutches, walking frames, and related accessories. Companies engaged in the production or distribution of personal care and healthcare products are well-positioned to compete, given the framework's anticipated expenditure in the first year and the ongoing demand for such products under the NHS provision.
