About this contract

Supply Chain Coordination Limited (“NHS Supply Chain”) intends to procure a National Framework Agreement for the supply of Surgical Gloves, including but not limited to: Latex; general surgery, undergloves, sensitive, textured.

This revised approach is expected to enhance supplier engagement,
