## Summary

The Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a framework agreement for the procurement of workplace essentials, including supplies, design, and personal protective equipment (PPE). This framework, facilitated by HealthTrust Europe LLP, encompasses various goods and services within three lots: Workplace Supplies, Workplace Designs, and Workplace Non-Clinical PPE. The procurement process employed an open procedure and has concluded with contracts starting on 21 August 2025, running until 20 August 2027, with the potential for a two-year extension. The suppliers involved in the awarded lots span both large and small enterprises, situated across the United Kingdom. The NHS foundation supports various public sector organisations throughout the region, reflecting its focus on supporting scalable and sustainable workplace solutions.

This framework presents substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in office supplies, interior design services, and non-clinical PPE. It provides a platform for both large suppliers and SMEs to engage in substantial contracts with assured demand. This initiative not only fosters business growth through direct sales but also enables suppliers to showcase innovation, sustainability practices, and competitive pricing strategies. Organisations experienced in sustainability initiatives, cost-effective procurement models, and value-added services will find lucrative prospects in bidding and fulfilling these contracts, potentially enabling them to scale operations and enhance their market footprint in public sector supply chains.

## Notice

HeathTrust Europe is seeking bids for a framework Agreement for Workplace Essentials: Supplies, Designs, and PPE. It is anticipated that the resulting Framework Agreement will cover Goods and Services within the following Lot structure: Lot 1 - Workplace Supplies Lot 2 - Workplace Designs Lot 3 - Workplace Non-Clinical PPE We carried out an engagement similar to PME, before the new Procurement Act 2023 came into force in February 2025. During the engagement HTE focused on identifying the best-fit solution for workplace solutions products and services. The goal was to ensure that the future supply model is cost-effective, sustainable, and responsive to the evolving needs of the workforce. HTE engaged incumbent suppliers, under contract or with a history of delivering workplace supplies, on the Framework. These suppliers participated in a series of discussions. The focus was to understand current performance, explore innovation, improvements, and any new offerings they can bring to the market. Assessing scalability and flexibility, can they adapt to changing demand or new sustainability goals. HTE also engaged external suppliers, charitable organisations simultaneously outside the current Workplace Supply Solution Framework to offer fresh perspectives, ideas, capabilities, and insights. Across the PME, HTE explored themes like: Sustainability (eco-friendly packaging, carbon footprint reduction), technology integration (smart ordering systems, inventory tracking, AI-driven demand forecasting), diversity and inclusion opportunities to work with SMEs, social enterprises, or minority-owned businesses. Value-added services and potential for cost savings This insight feeds directly into the next phase with a much stronger foundation.
