## Summary

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management is assessing a Theatre Waste Management Solution for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement combines clinical-waste disposal services with medical equipment, so it may cover both the handling of waste generated in theatre settings and associated equipment provision. The stated purpose is to assess whether a contract can be established, rather than to procure a defined package of works immediately. This is primarily a goods requirement with an additional services element. The buying organisation is based at Northumbria House, Cobalt Business Park, North Shields. Businesses operating in healthcare waste management, clinical waste disposal, theatre support services or medical equipment supply should review the requirement as it develops.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to assess the feasibility of establishing a contract, and has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to issue the next notice on 26 October 2026. A pre-market engagement questionnaire is scheduled for suppliers, with responses due by 7 September 2026. The planned contract period is 1 January to 31 December 2027. The published estimated value is £0 gross and £0 excluding tax, so the financial scale has not yet been established for commercial planning. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is planned as a single lot. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This early engagement will suit suppliers that can help shape a practical theatre waste management solution before the procurement reaches the market. Relevant businesses include clinical and healthcare waste contractors, specialist disposal providers, medical equipment suppliers, and organisations able to combine waste services with equipment provision. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable for the planned lot. Suppliers with experience supporting hospital or theatre environments, handling clinical waste compliantly, and supplying or integrating medical equipment are likely to be well placed to contribute. The immediate task is preparation rather than bidding: interested firms should be ready to explain their service model, operational capability and relevant healthcare experience through the pre-market engagement questionnaire.
