Hospital Furniture Tenders and Contracts

A hospital furniture tender covers bedside and ward furniture bought specifically for a clinical setting: overbed tables, bedside cabinets and related items.

Stotles brings together hospital furniture tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Hospital beds are often called off from NHS Supply Chain's pressure area care and patient handling framework, and ward furniture through single-party framework agreements.

Hospital furniture must meet infection control and cleanability requirements, and beds and patient handling equipment must meet medical device rules. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar supply contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Often, yes. A single-party framework agreement for overbed tables and associated bedside furniture is a common route, letting a hospital call off items as needed rather than running a fresh tender for every ward refit.

NHS Supply Chain runs a pressure area care and patient handling framework that covers hospital beds, mattresses and related patient equipment. NHS trusts call off from it, and the notices show a trust running a competition between the framework's suppliers, with clinical evaluation of the beds, to deliver a bed replacement programme.

Trusts also use it for smaller purchases, such as replacement mattresses for ward beds and emergency department trolleys.

NHS trusts and NHS Property Services buy hospital furniture directly for wards and community hospital sites, and Irish hospitals such as Beaumont Hospital run their own framework agreements for the same kind of equipment.

Read equipment replacement plans, asset registers, framework renewal dates and expiry dates for existing supply contracts, which show hospital furniture work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Hospital furniture notices carry 33192000 (Medical furniture), 33192120 (Hospital beds) and 33192130 (Motorised beds).
