04Medical equipment contracts: common questions
How many medical equipment tenders are live in the UK?
45 right now, from 28 public buyers, with 14 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 medical equipment contracts?
Where a minimum turnover is stated (1 of the 42 notices we have read), it is typically £1.2m. 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 medical equipment contracts?
Often, yes. 25 of the 45 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 9 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: 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.
