Contracts
Health & medical
Public sector contract notices in health & medical, from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.
Medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and consumables, and clinical and health services: CPV division 33 and the health service codes in division 85, with medical equipment installation. Everything from imaging systems and theatre equipment to dressings, medicines and the services delivered around them.
NHS trusts, integrated care boards, ambulance services, local authorities and hospices buy here, and much of it runs through national and regional purchasing frameworks rather than individual tenders. Regulatory requirements are the gate for a supplier: UKCA or CE marking for devices, MHRA registration where it applies, and for services the relevant CQC registration. Notices in this category often refer to a standing agreement, so it is worth checking whether what is advertised is a new requirement or a call-off from something already let.
