Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust bought protective helmets and hoods for use in trauma and orthopaedic surgery. This is a supply requirement for surgical protective equipment, rather than a wider clinical service. Delivery is associated with Worcester, England. The equipment is intended to protect surgical staff during trauma and orthopaedic procedures. The procurement identifies protective and safety clothing as its category (CPV 35113400).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Stryker UK Limited. The award was made on 22 September 2026, following a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £170,539. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2028. The procurement was for goods, with no lots identified. The stated submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The evaluation criteria are not described in the available procurement details.

For suppliers of surgical protective equipment, this award demonstrates Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust’s demand for helmets and hoods used in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to supply equipment suitable for these operating-theatre procedures and to meet the trust’s requirements for protective performance and practical use by surgical teams. The selected supplier is a large company, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this indicates a requirement better matched to suppliers with the capacity to serve a hospital trust at this scale. Suppliers with an established route through the relevant framework would be best placed to compete.
