Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited procured single-use, non-sterile thumb-looped gowns for universal use. The gowns are medical clothing and form part of Lot 2 of the Single Use Personal Protective Equipment and Medical Protective Consumables Framework Agreement. The requirement supports NHS procurement and is intended to compare supplier pricing with current NHS spending while following a compliant purchasing process. Delivery covered the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and the rest of the world. This was a goods requirement, with participation identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective mini-competition call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 4 June 2026 at 3pm. The evaluation sought the most economically advantageous tender, with the intention of appointing two suppliers for each product line. The contract was awarded on 24 August 2026 to Mediq Healthcare UK Limited and Medline Industries Ltd, with an awarded value of £737,000. The call-off contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027, a 12-month term. The award is active, and both named suppliers share the awarded requirement rather than representing separate published award values.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established demand for universal single-use, non-sterile thumb-looped gowns within NHS personal protective equipment and medical consumables purchasing. A credible future competitor would need reliable capability to manufacture or supply medical clothing at framework call-off scale, maintain consistent product quality and fulfil orders across the broad delivery area. The route to market is a framework mini-competition, so relevant suppliers would benefit from experience of framework compliance, structured tender submissions and demonstrating value through economically advantageous pricing. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected suppliers were both large businesses.
