04Healthcare contracts: common questions
How many healthcare tenders are live in the UK?
222 right now, from 138 public buyers, with 53 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in healthcare contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. The insurance named most often is employer's liability at around £5m. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win healthcare contracts?
Often, yes. 79 of the 222 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 28 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Health
NHS and public health buyers often buy through frameworks, so check which framework a contract sits under before you bid. Expect questions on clinical governance, information governance (the Data Security and Protection Toolkit) and relevant registrations such as CQC.
