£448kHow to win medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products tenders
Most consumables flow through NHS Supply Chain — securing a place on the relevant tower is a business-development project in itself, so target direct trust tenders for capital equipment and community equipment DPS routes in parallel. MHRA registration, UKCA/CE marking and clinical evaluation evidence are gate criteria; managed equipment services (uptime-based pricing, training, planned replacement) score better than box-shifting.
