Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited, part of NHS Supply Chain, procured single-use face visors as goods for personal protective equipment and medical consumables requirements. The purchase sits within Lot 6 of the Single Use Personal Protective Equipment and Medical Protective Consumables Framework Agreement. The requirement covers safety visors for delivery across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other international destinations. It was intended to compare supplier pricing with current NHS Supply Chain spending and maintain a compliant purchasing route. The procurement has been completed, with the requirement awarded to suppliers for NHS-related supply needs.

This was a completed selective mini-competition call-off from the 2022 framework agreement, evaluated on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender basis. The tender deadline was 4 June 2026 at 3pm, and the contract was awarded on 25 August 2026. The award value is £127,000. Empire Medical UK Ltd and Globus (Shetland) Limited were both selected as suppliers, with the buyer intending to award up to two suppliers per product line. The call-off contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lot values are stated.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established NHS demand for single-use face visors supplied through a framework call-off and a requirement spanning UK and international delivery destinations. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need dependable capacity to manufacture or source safety visors, manage product-line supply and fulfil orders across a wide geographic area. They would also need to compete effectively on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender basis, with pricing sufficiently competitive for comparison against NHS Supply Chain’s existing spend. The outcome shows that both an SME and a larger supplier were selected, so businesses of different scales may be able to compete where they can demonstrate compliant, reliable PPE supply and framework readiness.
