NHS and healthcare tenders in the UK

Healthcare procurement covers a huge span: clinical services delivered on behalf of the NHS, consumables and equipment, digital systems, and the non-clinical support services hospitals depend on. Buyers include NHS trusts, integrated care boards, NHS Supply Chain routes, public health teams and hospices. For a smaller supplier the practical question is usually which lot or which framework fits, and that is where reading the evaluation criteria early pays off.
