Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured the supply of plastic bags, including waste sacks and refuse sacks, for delivery to its Nottingham operations in the East Midlands. This is a goods requirement for routine cleaning and waste-handling consumables, classified under CPV 19640000. The buyer is the NHS Trust based on Hucknall Road, Nottingham. The requirement concerns the physical supply and delivery of consumable polythene bags rather than cleaning services, waste collection or disposal. It is therefore relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors with suitable stock, packaging and delivery arrangements for healthcare or other large institutional customers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 September 2025 to G V HEALTH LIMITED. The award value is £80,000. The contract runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2028. The submission deadline was 30 September 2025 at 12 noon. This was a selective call-off from the Cleaning Consumable Supply Dynamic Purchasing System, using an e-auction. The arrangement was made through the dynamic purchasing system established by Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. The published requirement identified Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust as the buyer and the successful supplier as G V HEALTH LIMITED. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates an established NHS demand for dependable supplies of plastic waste bags and refuse sacks at institutional scale. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to appropriate polythene products, consistent quality control and sufficient capacity to fulfil recurring orders across a hospital operation. Strong stock management, packaging and delivery capability would be important, as interruptions could affect clinical, cleaning and waste-handling activities. Suppliers should also be able to participate in a dynamic purchasing system call-off and an electronic auction, understand public-sector ordering and invoicing requirements, and provide clear product specifications. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that specialist distributors can compete where they can combine suitable products with dependable fulfilment.
