Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Sexual Health

Supply Chain Coordination Limited, a London-based buyer governed by public law, has completed a public procurement process for a comprehensive Framework Agreement titled "Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Sexual Health." This contract relates to the supply of medical consumables across the UK, falling under the goods category as per CPV classification 33140000. The procurement, executed via an open procedure, saw key contracts awarded on 4th and 18th February 2025, with an estimated total value of £123.2 million.

While specific quantities remain indeterminate, the scope of supply includes obstetric and gynaecological products, as well as sexual health items like condoms and diaphragms, delivered as framework agreements with multiple suppliers across various locations within the UK. The procurement process was covered under the GPA and aimed to meet the initial procurement goals set out the previous year. This framework presents considerable opportunities for both small and large enterprises to penetrate the medical consumables market, targeting hospitals and healthcare providers across the nation.

SMEs, particularly those offering innovative or cost-effective solutions in medical device manufacturing and supply chain arrangements, are well-suited to engage with this contract, as evidenced by multiple SMEs already serving as active suppliers. With no upper limit on the number of successful suppliers, businesses can benefit from potential inclusion in future contracts, promoting growth through consistent demand and collaboration with NHS entities. The procurement encompasses high standards and social value considerations, aligning with strategic NHS objectives, thus favouring businesses that can demonstrate robust operational, customer service, and contract management capabilities.
