Workplace Essential: Supplies, Design, and PPE

Description

HeathTrust Europe is seeking bids for a framework Agreement for Workplace Essentials: Supplies, Designs, and PPE.
It is anticipated that the resulting Framework Agreement will cover Goods and Services within the following Lot structure:
Lot 1 - Workplace Supplies
Lot 2 - Workplace Designs
Lot 3 - Workplace Non-Clinical PPE
We carried out an engagement similar to PME, before the new Procurement Act 2023 came into force in February 2025.
During the engagement HTE focused on identifying the best-fit solution for workplace solutions products and services. The goal was to ensure that the future supply model is cost-effective, sustainable, and responsive to the evolving needs of the workforce.
HTE engaged incumbent suppliers, under contract or with a history of delivering workplace supplies, on the Framework. These suppliers participated in a series of discussions. The focus was to understand current performance, explore innovation, improvements, and any new offerings they can bring to the market. Assessing scalability and flexibility, can they adapt to changing demand or new sustainability goals.
HTE also engaged external suppliers, charitable organisations simultaneously outside the current Workplace Supply Solution Framework to offer fresh perspectives, ideas, capabilities, and insights.
Across the PME, HTE explored themes like:
Sustainability (eco-friendly packaging, carbon footprint reduction), technology integration (smart ordering systems, inventory tracking, AI-driven demand forecasting), diversity and inclusion opportunities to work with SMEs, social enterprises, or minority-owned businesses. Value-added services and potential for cost savings
This insight feeds directly into the next phase with a much stronger foundation.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
