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 Patient Identification 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 associated with that activity, prior to knowing which specific suppliers and value chains are going to be used. Based on that risk the following tools will be applied to the procurement to understand the specific risk in the proposed supply chains.

Low Risk - Modern Slavery Assessment Tool

Medium Risk - Modern Slavery Assessment Tool + Evidence Review

High Risk - Modern Slavery Assessment Tool + Evidence Review +

3rd Party Audit

This risk profiling has been conducted on Patient Identification products in the pre-market phase and has determined a medium risk.

PPN 009 Tender Submission Requirements

Confirmation (yes/no) that The Modern Slavery Assessment Tool has been completed - will form part of the Selection Questionnaire of the tender. Results will be evaluated to establish Supplier risk.

Evidence Review on Modern Slavery - will be evaluated at tender submission. Results will be evaluated to 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.

Risks are based on the 6 factors set out in PPN 009.

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.

For further information on NHS Supply Chain's application of PPN002 and PPN006 in addition to Evergreen Assessment and Horizon scanning requirements, a Sustainability & Social Value document will be issued to all suppliers who express interest in this Pre Market Engagement Notice along with the RFI. In any case, the Sustainability & Social Value document will also be made available with the full tender documents which will be the subject of separate market notice.

Suppliers are required to be registered on the Central Digital Platform by using the following link; Suppliers: How to register your organisation and first administrator on Find a Tender in three easy steps (HTML) - GOV.UK

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.

As part of its pre-tender strategy, NHS Supply Chain would also like to engage with suppliers of these products via a Request for Information (RFI). If you would like to complete the Request for Information document in respect of the products which are the subject of this procurement then please follow the below instructions;

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30–70 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
  • “Printable Patient Identification Wristbands and Associated Accessories…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Question for the bid
This buyerSUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED · all categories
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 1 of 1 known-size awards · market: division 22 · UK-wide, n=43
1 of 163%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Here, local means the winner is registered in the region where that contract was delivered.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: no winner locations published · market: division 22 · UK-wide, n=37
—35%

No winner locations published for this authority. Local means a registered address in Greater London.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 23 decided notices · market: division 22 · UK-wide, n=10
107 days63 days

Half of these awards were announced within 107 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: exactly 3 of 4 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: division 22 · UK-wide, n=24
3 of 442%

Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

i

Where winning prices landed against estimates.

Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.

On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

Last 36 months.

Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

Commercial price forecast

Where the award price may land.

The forecast uses similar awards and the buyer’s estimate. The band covers the middle half of likely prices.

No comparable awards for this lot yet.

A statistical guide from past awards, not a price to bid.

—Priced at call-off
On a framework or DPS the price is agreed on each call-off, so there is no award price to forecast here: the published figure is a ceiling.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
