Overview
Medical Gas Cylinders Direct Award via Framework
AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
This is a direct award contract for the supply of medical cylinder gases (oxygen, nitrous oxide, etc.) to the NHS via an existing framework agreement. A supplier has been selected directly without a competitive tender process, meaning this opportunity is not open for new bids.
Requirements
- Must be an approved supplier on the relevant medical gas cylinder framework agreement
- Supply must comply with British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards for medical gases
- Cylinders must meet UK health and safety regulations for medical gas storage and delivery
- No specific experience or certification requirements listed in this notice — check the framework agreement terms
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply medical cylinder gases (including oxygen, nitrous oxide, and other medical gases as specified)
- Deliver cylinders to NHS facilities as required
- Maintain safe storage, labelling, and handling of medical gas cylinders
- Provide ongoing supply and cylinder management services
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'direct award' — it means the buyer has chosen a supplier without running a competitive tender, so this is not an opportunity to bid unless you're already on the framework
- 2The phrase 'via Framework' means this contract uses a pre-agreed supplier list and pricing set up previously — you cannot apply unless you're already approved
- 3Check if you're eligible: find the framework name and search the UK government's e-notification service to see if you can join it for future opportunities
- 4Medical gases are tightly regulated — if interested in future work, ensure your business can meet pharmaceutical quality and NHS supply chain standards
- 5Look for the framework agreement details and contract value to understand the scale and commercial terms
Tips for Small Businesses
- This specific contract is closed (direct award), but if you supply medical gases, apply to join the framework for future opportunities — frameworks often run 2–4 years with regular call-offs
- Medical gas supply often requires accreditation (e.g. ISO 13485 for medical devices) and NHS prequalification — check these requirements early as they take time to obtain
- Consider partnering with an existing approved framework supplier as a subcontractor if you have complementary services (e.g. logistics, cylinder testing)
