01 — WHY UK

Generic tools fail NHS procurement.

NHS procurement runs on a regulatory and framework stack — MHRA, CCS, NHS Supply Chain, NICE — that no generic RFP tool fully supports. Post-Brexit dual compliance adds another layer that manual processes cannot reliably handle.

MedStrato encodes the UK healthcare regulatory architecture into the tender workflow. Every MHRA registration verified. Every submission formatted for the specific framework lot. Every compliance gate tracked through to contract award.

The result is not just faster response — it is fewer disqualifications, higher win rate, and audit-ready documentation when NHS trusts or CCS come asking.

02 — BUILT FOR UK WORKFLOWS

Six pillars that make UK tenders winnable.

MHRA + EU MDR dual compliance

Automatic verification against the MHRA register and EU MDR requirements via the Northern Ireland Protocol. UKCA and CE marking status tracked in parallel for every product claimed.

NHS Supply Chain integrated

Native support for NHS Supply Chain category towers, framework lot structures, and e-procurement portals. Atamis, Bravo, and Jaggaer submission formats handled end-to-end.

NICE appraisal aware

Tender responses reference applicable NICE technology appraisals, medtech innovation briefings, and health technology assessments — linking clinical evidence to procurement value.

CCS framework aligned

Crown Commercial Service framework agreements pre-mapped. Lot eligibility, social value scoring, and Modern Slavery Act compliance evidence auto-populated in submissions.

Orbid AI agent for tenders

Orbid reads the ITT, matches your catalogue, checks every spec line against MHRA and NHS requirements, and drafts a submission-ready bid. Autonomous tender response, not another form to fill.

Devolved procurement engine

England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland — each nation's procurement rules, frameworks, and health board structures encoded and applied. NHS England, NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, and HSC all supported.

03 — COMPLIANCE STACK

MHRA. EU MDR. NHS. CCS. All native.

MHRA
UK device register integrated

Live queries against the MHRA medical devices register. Device classification, UKCA marking status, field safety notices, and manufacturer registration verification.

EU MDR
Northern Ireland Protocol ready

Dual regulatory tracking for products entering Northern Ireland. CE marking under EU MDR, UKCA for Great Britain — both compliance paths managed in a single workflow.

NHS

05 — FREQUENTLY ASKED

UK-specific questions, answered.

How does MedStrato handle NHS procurement processes?

MedStrato supports the full NHS procurement lifecycle: ITT parsing from NHS Supply Chain category towers, framework agreement call-offs via CCS, Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS), and direct trust-level tenders. Submission formats for Atamis, Bravo, and Jaggaer e-procurement portals are handled natively. Orbid, our AI agent, reads the tender documents, matches your product catalogue, and drafts a compliant response — reducing response time from days to hours.

What changed for medical device regulation after Brexit?

Post-Brexit, the UK operates a dual regulatory regime. Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) uses the MHRA and UKCA marking. Northern Ireland follows EU MDR under the Windsor Framework (formerly NI Protocol), requiring CE marking. MedStrato tracks both regimes in parallel — every product in your catalogue has its UKCA and CE status verified, and tender responses include the correct compliance evidence for the procurement authority's jurisdiction.

Does MedStrato support Crown Commercial Service (CCS) frameworks?

Yes. CCS frameworks like RM6306 (Medical Devices and Clinical Consumables) are pre-mapped in MedStrato. Lot eligibility is checked automatically, social value model scoring is pre-populated against PPN 06/20 requirements, and Modern Slavery Act compliance statements are included. Framework call-off mini-competitions are handled the same way as open tenders.

How does NICE technology appraisal data get used in tender responses?

When your products have relevant NICE technology appraisals, medtech innovation briefings, or medical technologies guidance, MedStrato auto-references them in tender responses. This links clinical evidence to procurement value — which is increasingly what NHS evaluation panels weight heavily. The platform tracks NICE publication dates and updates evidence chains when new guidance is issued.

Is MedStrato GDPR compliant for UK deployments?

Yes. MedStrato is UK GDPR compliant with data processing agreements (DPA), tenant-isolated architecture, encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), and comprehensive audit logging. Data residency options include UK-based hosting. SOC 2 Type II certification covers our security controls. The platform handles no patient data — only procurement and product data.

How long does UK implementation take?

Typical timeline: 3-6 weeks for catalogue onboarding with clean product data; 6-12 weeks for suppliers needing MHRA registration verification and legacy data remediation. Live tender response capability is usually available within 21 days of contract signing for standard configurations. NHS Supply Chain framework alignment adds 1-2 weeks.

What is the pricing for UK deployments?

Growth plan starts at £1,900/organisation/month for up to 40 seats — significantly lower than per-seat pricing from legacy platforms. Enterprise pricing is custom for organisations requiring on-premises deployment, NHS integration, or specialised compliance configurations. A free 14-day pilot with your real tenders is available without a purchase order.
