## Summary

SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED, a public authority under sub-central government based in London, is planning a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Infant Feeding and Associated Accessories." This procurement, categorised under goods, involves the supply of baby care products, special nutritional products, and feeding accessories. The procurement is in the planning stage, with a current focus on engaging potential suppliers for feedback and discussions about specification and product lists. Key dates include the deadline for the submission of completed RFIs on 8 June 2026, with further milestones like the draft specification circulation expected by 23 June 2026, and final feedback due by 10 August 2026. The framework is valued at £41.3 million gross and is open for engagement through a portal login for interested suppliers.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses ready to supply infant feeding products and accessories, particularly those with experience in baby care products, nutritional products, or medical supplies. The framework offers a structured approach that includes lots focused on milks, meals, and feeding equipment, and is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Suppliers with ISO or CE/UKCA certifications or equivalent, as well as those active in sustainability and modern slavery compliance, would be especially well-suited to compete. The contract period is from February 2028 to February 2030, with the possibility of renewal, providing a stable business growth potential over several years within the UK market.
