Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured disposable privacy curtain supply and installation services for its clinical environments. The requirement covers disposable cubicle, shower and privacy curtains, including fitting and replacement. Its purpose is to support infection prevention and control, protect patient privacy and dignity, and maintain a safe healthcare environment. The work is classified as hospital linen (CPV 39518000) and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust in Bury St Edmunds and the wider East of England. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers of disposable healthcare curtains that can provide both the products and the installation and replacement service required across clinical settings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Behrens Healthcare on 13 March 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 1 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded value was £16,114.07 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 29 May 2026 to 28 May 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. It was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The active award covers the full disposable curtain supply and installation requirement, with Behrens Healthcare named as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates recurring NHS demand for disposable privacy and cubicle curtain services in clinical environments, combining product supply with on-site fitting and replacement. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to suitable disposable healthcare curtains, an installation team able to work across hospital areas, and processes that support regular replacement without disrupting clinical operations. Capability in infection prevention and control, patient privacy, dignity and safe healthcare environments would help a supplier demonstrate that its service meets the operational purpose of the requirement. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can deliver this type of framework call-off. Suppliers should therefore assess their healthcare product range, installation capacity, service responsiveness and ability to operate within NHS clinical settings.
