Supply Chain Coordination Limited (“NHS Supply Chain”) intends to procure a National Framework Agreement for the supply of Medical Examination Gloves including but not limited to: 6N Examination Gloves: 6N Nitrile Exam Gloves Examination Gloves Specialised Following further review of the category strategy, market landscape, and customer requirements, it has been concluded that Medical Examination Gloves and Surgical Gloves will be procured through separate frameworks. Whilst the original PME notice (2025/S 000-052117) indicated an intention to combine the two categories into a single framework, subsequent analysis identified that they operate as distinct markets with differing customer needs, supply bases, technical specifications, and procurement considerations. In addition, the categories are subject to different commercial models, pricing mechanisms, market dynamics, and contract management requirements. Maintaining separate frameworks will enable a more tailored procurement approach for each category, support effective category management, and better align with customer and market needs. This revised approach is expected to enhance supplier engagement, promote competition, and provide greater flexibility to respond to future market developments and evolving customer demand. We are looking at ways to review the procurement strategy and simplify commercials in terms of agreements and pricing points, rationalise ranges for stocked product. This framework will continue to incorporate sustainability requirements for third party social audits across Medical Examination Gloves. NHS Supply Chain is assessing the most appropriate procurement approach, and the tendering procedures that may be used for future contract awards. The Framework Agreement will be entered into between the Authority and individual Supplier(s). The Authority may purchase goods under the Framework Agreement, which will be made available for purchase by: • any NHS Trust; • any other NHS entity; • any government department, agency or other statutory body (for the avoidance of doubt including local authorities); and/or • any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector. The award of a place on the Framework Agreement does not guarantee any commitment by the Authority or its customers to place any orders under the Framework Agreement. To participate in NHS Supply Chain procurements, Tenderers must be registered on the Central Digital Platform (CDP) and have shared their information with NHS Supply Chain via the CDP. The CDP is available at: https://www.gov.uk/findtender Please ensure your details match your account details in Jaggaer, Companies House and CDP. It is the Suppliers responsibility to ensure the account set up in Jaggaer is in the correct company name. For example, if the name has been set up incorrectly or the business has had changes to its organisation we recommend the following: Incorrect Name (such as typo) - Contact Jaggaer via the help options (seen on page after logging in) and explain that the details are incorrect and provide correct details. Company organisation Changes - 2 options: Note: Audit trails need to be maintained in Jaggaer which makes it difficult to allow changes to business that have had significant changes such as merges of businesses or been purchased by other organisations. Option 1: Create a new account with new name (preferred). Option 2: Current account - Contact Jaggaer via the help options (seen on page after logging in) and provide details of the changes (such as a company name change document from companies house). Tenderers must also be registered on Jaggaer, as all tender activity will be conducted through this system. The Tenderer is responsible for ensuring that its Jaggaer account is set up in the correct company name and that all information is kept up to date. Jaggaer can be accessed via https://nhssupplychain.app.jaggaer.com The Authority estimates that, in the first 12 months of the Framework, the total value of purchases will be approximately £125,000,000 excluding VAT. Over the full 48-month term, the estimated total value is approximately £500,000,000 excluding VAT.

PPN 009 'Tackling Modern Slavery in Government Supply Chains' In February 2025 PPN 009 "Tackling Modern Slavery in Government Supply Chains" was published. This PPN specifically calls out the NHS as being in scope. The PPN requires the risk of Modern Slavery to be identified for each Procurement activity, and appropriate due diligence conducted to manage these risks. Risk Profiling and Methodology Each NHS Supply Chain procurement, including the forthcoming procurement for Medical Pulp & Associated Products 2027 has been assessed, using a standard methodology. The methodology has been developed using a database of risk, mapped to E-class codes. This has been mapped to the procurement activity to assess the level of risk, prior to knowing which specific suppliers and value chains are going to be used. This risk profiling has been conducted on Medical Pulp & Associated Products in the pre-market phase and has been determined a Medium risk category. Based on that risk the following tools will be applied to the procurement to understand the specific risk in the proposed supply chains. Medium Risk: Modern Slavery Assessment Tool + Evidence Review The Pre Market Engagement Notice pre-positions the supply base of the tools we will apply in the tender to manage that risk. These requirements will be evaluated as part of the tender submission and the results used to assess the level of risk in the Suppliers Value Chain ahead of any award. PPN 009 Tender Submission Requirements Confirmation (yes/no) that The Modern Slavery Assessment Tool has been completed - will form part of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire of the tender. Results will be evaluated to establish Supplier risk. Evidence Review on Modern Slavery - will be evaluated at tender submission to also establish Supplier risk. Actions for Suppliers/Potential Suppliers to take now in the Pre-Market Stage Ensure you have completed the Modern Slavery Assessment Tool (MSAT), you have a plan in place to act on the recommendations it makes, and you maintain the assessment annually. The Modern Slavery Assessment Tool (MSAT) can be accessed via the following link https://supplierregistration.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/msat The NHS has adopted PPN002 (taking account of Social Value), and therefore this future Framework Agreement will require suppliers to state what is their Social Value proposition which in turn will be made available to customers who utilise the Framework Agreement to aid their decision making when using the framework. In addition, the NHS has adopted the Government's 'Taking Account of Carbon Reduction Plans' PPN006 requiring all suppliers with new contracts for goods, services and/or works irrespective of value to publish a carbon reduction plan for their direct emissions. Suppliers bidding on NHS Supply Chain tenders will also be required to submit an Evergreen Assessment Level 1 minimum. The Evergreen Assessment can be accessed via the following link https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-commercial/sustainability/evergreen/ Suppliers are also encouraged to register themselves on the Central Digital Platform by using the following link https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-act-2023-short-guides/suppliers-how-to-register-your-organisation-and-first-administrator-on-find-a-tender-in-three-easy-steps-html The Framework Agreement between NHS Supply Chain and successful suppliers will reserve the right to purchase the same or similar supplies and/or services from suppliers not appointed to the Framework Agreement at its sole discretion.
