# Sutures, clips, sterile sutures and other wound-closure products

Varuförsörjningen is tendering a framework agreement for sutures, meshes, tissue and skin adhesives, and skin staplers. TED reports an estimated procedure value of SEK 450,000,000. The API identifies two lots and requires electronic submission in Swedish. The specific lot values and the API’s generic deadline field conflict with the explicit tender-receipt date; the submission deadline is reported as 3 November 2026 at 22:59:59 UTC, as given by the date and time fields for receipt of tenders. The two API-listed lots are “FFU General section” and “Contract and commercial terms”; their descriptions cover sutures, meshes, tissue and skin adhesives, and skin staplers. TED returned separate lot-estimate and framework-maximum arrays; the response does not securely map each value to a named lot.
