CPV codes

Medical consumables have their own CPV group, 33140000. Within it, 33141000 covers disposable non-chemical medical consumables and haematological consumables. Narrower codes include 33141310 for syringes, 33141320 for medical needles, 33141420 for surgical gloves, 33141110 for dressings, 33141121 for surgical sutures and 33141200 for catheters. Durable devices belong to medical equipment tenders.

Registration, samples and lots

Consumables tenders typically require product registration and samples. A bid can fail because a registration does not match the exact size or variant in the lot, or because samples arrive late. Large tenders are split into many lots, and bidding only on lots that your catalogue fully covers is usually safer than stretching it.
