Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust bought collagen sponges impregnated with gentamicin, a medical product used as an absorbable haemostatic. The requirement is categorised under CPV 33141127, absorbable haemostatics, and falls within the goods category. Delivery is associated with Leicester, at Infirmary Square, and the East of England in the United Kingdom. The procurement therefore concerns the supply of a specialist surgical haemostatic product to an NHS hospital trust, rather than clinical services, construction or general medical supplies. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist healthcare suppliers able to provide collagen sponge products containing gentamicin for hospital use.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 September 2026 to Advanced Medical Solutions. The award value is £600,000, against an estimated procurement range of £450,000 to £600,000. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 12:00. The selected supplier is Advanced Medical Solutions. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract covers one requirement for the collagen sponge impregnated with gentamicin product, with the NHS Trust as buyer and procuring organisation.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows that University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust purchases a specialist collagen-based haemostatic containing gentamicin through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to supply the specified product reliably for hospital use, maintain consistent product quality and demonstrate the operational capacity to support a large NHS trust over a multi-year contract. Relevant businesses include manufacturers of collagen haemostatic devices, authorised healthcare distributors and framework suppliers with dependable NHS fulfilment arrangements. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist manufacturer or distributor may be well placed to compete, provided it can meet the product specification, manage supply continuity and operate effectively through the framework route.
