04Public health contracts: common questions
How many public health tenders are live in Wales?
4 right now, from 4 public buyers, with 2 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 public health 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 public health contracts?
Often, yes. 2 of the 4 live tenders in Wales 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: 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.
