04Healthcare contracts: common questions
How many healthcare tenders are live in the South West?
13 right now, from 12 public buyers, with 6 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. 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. 10 of the 13 live tenders in the South West are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 2 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.
