Official UK procurement notice
Intravenous Cannula and Associated Products
Authority: SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionPeripheral Intravenous Cannulas and related products are short-term devices used to access veins for fluid or medication delivery and blood sampling. They come in various forms including safety and non-safety, winged, ported, and straight. These devices are not intended for central vein access.
Also included in the scope of the procurement are:
- Subcutaneous infusion sets
- Metal needle winged devices with extension
- Safety Integrated Cannula (also referred to as closed loop systems)
- Safety Canulation Packs
- Accessories designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of patient cannulation. Including training aids.
It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £35,000,000 (ex VAT) in the first year of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement. Estimated value over the 2-year Framework Agreement will be in the region of £70,000,000 (Ex VAT). There will be an option to extend the Framework for a further 2 years. If the extension period will be utilised, then the total value of the Framework across the 4 year would be approximately £140,000,000 (Ex VAT)
Preliminary market engagement was carried out, with a PME Notice being published 30 July 2025.

- Price
- Price carries 55 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Intravenous Cannula and Associated Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
