Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited procured single-use, non-sterile isolation gowns for NHS Supply Chain requirements. The goods are medical clothing (CPV 33199000), within Lot 2 of the Single Use Personal Protective Equipment and Medical Protective Consumables Framework Agreement. The requirement covers product lines for isolation gowns, with delivery potentially across the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and the rest of the world. This was a goods procurement managed by Supply Chain Coordination Limited, based in London. The framework arrangement was used to compare supplier pricing against current NHS Supply Chain spending and to run a compliant mini-competition for these protective medical consumables.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It was a selective call-off mini-competition from a framework agreement, evaluated on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender basis. Bids closed on 3 July 2026 at 15:00. The award was made on 25 August 2026 to Medline Industries Ltd and ISOL8 Healthcare Limited, with an awarded value of £724,000. Up to two suppliers could be appointed for each product line, and suppliers could bid for one or more product lines; the published award does not allocate separate values between the two suppliers. The call-off contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established demand for single-use, non-sterile isolation gowns within NHS Supply Chain’s wider personal protective equipment purchasing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to compliant medical clothing, the operational capacity to supply multiple product lines, and the ability to serve geographically dispersed delivery destinations. Experience supplying healthcare or protective medical consumables would help demonstrate understanding of NHS-style requirements, pricing discipline and dependable fulfilment. The award to both a large company and an SME indicates that businesses of different scales can compete when they can meet the product, commercial and supply requirements. Suppliers should also be able to participate in framework call-offs and submit commercially competitive tenders.
