04Laboratory and diagnostics contracts: common questions
How many laboratory and diagnostics tenders are live in the North East?
8 right now, from 6 public buyers, with 3 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 laboratory and diagnostics 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 laboratory and diagnostics contracts?
Often, yes. 4 of the 8 live tenders in the North East are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 1 is a framework or dynamic purchasing system (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: Medical supplies
Medical supplies are mostly bought through national and regional frameworks. Product compliance (UKCA or CE marking, MHRA registration where relevant) and a reliable supply chain are usually checked before price is even scored.
