Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited procured single-use dignity gowns, classified as medical clothing, for NHS Supply Chain’s requirements. The purchase sits within Lot 2 of the Single Use Personal Protective Equipment and Medical Protective Consumables Framework Agreement. It was intended to review market pricing against existing NHS Supply Chain spend and provide a compliant route to supply. The goods are delivered across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or works contract. Suppliers could offer one or more product lines, with the procurement designed to appoint up to one supplier for each product line.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 25 August 2026 following a selective mini-competition call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 4 June 2026 at 15:00. The award value is £45,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027, for a 12-month term. The award was made to ISOL8 Healthcare Limited, Medline Industries Ltd and Toffeln Ltd, collectively covering the product requirement. Selection was based on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender, allowing comparison of pricing and other tender factors. The opportunity was identified as suitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows established demand for single-use dignity gowns within NHS Supply Chain’s wider personal protective equipment and medical consumables purchasing. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need reliable access to compliant medical clothing, the capacity to supply multiple product lines, and the operational reach to support deliveries across the United Kingdom and associated wider territories. Credible competitors would also need experience of supplying healthcare or protective consumables, disciplined pricing, and the ability to participate in a framework call-off mini-competition assessed on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender basis. The appointment of two SMEs alongside a large supplier indicates that businesses of different sizes can compete where they can demonstrate product conformity, dependable fulfilment and suitable commercial capacity for NHS requirements.
