This procurement process is aimed at understanding market capabilities related to e-auctions and services for managing surplus health-related stock. The estimated value of the contract is between £3 million and £10 million, with an engagement event scheduled for 19th August 2022. The engagement end date is set for 18th August 2022, and the contracts are being developed in Leeds, England. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in electronic auction services, logistics, and the redistribution of medical supplies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the contract encourages participation from this sector. Engaging in this procurement could facilitate partnerships and growth avenues for businesses seeking to expand their footprint within the healthcare supply chain. ## Notice We wish to understand market capabilities and commercial realities (e.g. anticipated profile of sales across segments and over time) as they pertain to the provision of e-auctions and connected/related services (e.g. post-auction direct sales) for the sales, management and redistribution of excess (surplus/unused) stock. In considering any prospective procurement, this will help the Department to assess the delivery model and the various operational, commercial and policy levers available through the market for sales of excess (surplus) stock. We anticipate the value being between PS3 million and PS10 million.
