## Summary

Supply Chain Coordination Limited intends to procure reusable and consumable products for minimally invasive surgery across multiple clinical specialties in the United Kingdom. The scope covers robotic-assisted surgery, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, gynaecological endoscopy and uterine ablation, advanced energy, ligation, surgical stapling, and selected products for multispecialty open surgery. Potential product areas include clips and clip appliers, energy devices, stapling devices, single-use and reusable instruments and consumables, trocar systems, rigid scopes, robotic consumables, procedure kits, and maintenance of minimally invasive surgery equipment. The procurement is for goods, with associated repair and maintenance services. Supply Chain Coordination Limited is the buying organisation.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is being developed through preliminary market engagement; it is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use a framework agreement, with the proposed contract value of £700,000,000 excluding VAT and £840,000,000 including VAT. The scope is expected to be divided into lots, although the proposed lot list may change. The published plan currently identifies an initial lot for clips and clip appliers, with a two-year contract period expected from 12 February 2029 to 11 February 2031 and a possible extension to 11 February 2033. Supplier engagement includes a webinar before the end of September 2026, workshops and meetings from October 2026 to April 2027, and a future notice expected on 1 September 2027.

The procurement will suit manufacturers, distributors and specialist service providers supplying minimally invasive surgery products, robotic surgery consumables, endoscopic equipment, surgical instruments, procedure kits or associated maintenance. Businesses with experience across clinical specialties, product development, technical support and medical-device supply chains should be able to contribute to the market engagement. The buyer plans to issue registered suppliers a request for information, followed by draft specifications and product lists, and will use one-to-one meetings and collaborative workshops to explore capability, innovation, sustainability, product rationalisation and simpler requirements. The identified lot is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers should prepare product, capability and tender-process information before the competition is launched.
