## Summary

NHS Supply Chain, operated by Supply Chain Coordination Ltd (SCCL), is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Framework Agreement titled "Reusable Clinical Waste Containers 2026". This procurement encompasses the provision of reusable waste containers for medical sharps, including services such as delivery, removal, waste disposal, cleaning, and reprocessing, as well as customer support. The initial anticipated expenditure is approximately £1,000,000 in the first year, with a total estimated value of £5,100,000 over the four-year term of the Framework Agreement. This procurement falls under the "Clinical-waste collection services" industry category and will cover various locations across the UK. Potential suppliers must ensure they meet several certification requirements, including ISO 9001:2015 and a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan, with the procurement officially expected to commence within the next 12 months.

This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in clinical waste management and related services, particularly those with expertise in handling reusable waste containers and providing comprehensive waste disposal solutions. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with stringent quality standards, such as ISO 9001:2015, and those with a strong focus on social value and environmental sustainability will be well-suited to compete. SMEs in the healthcare supply chain sector looking to expand their market presence by offering high-quality, compliant waste management solutions to various NHS entities and other UK healthcare organisations will find this tender a promising avenue for business growth.
