Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured bespoke procedure packs for use in labour suites and operating theatres. The packs fall within medical consumables, including epidural kits or packs, and are intended to support clinical procedures rather than general hospital supply. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s City Hospital Campus in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands. The requirement was for goods supplied under Lot 2, Bespoke / Custom Procedure Packs, of the NHSSC Framework Procedure Packs 2024. The selected supplier was expected to provide customised, clinically appropriate pack contents for hospital use. This is a focused healthcare consumables requirement for manufacturers, specialist medical distributors and suppliers with the capability to configure and deliver procedure packs for NHS clinical environments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the NHSSC Framework Procedure Packs 2024, under Lot 2. The tender submission deadline was 21 June 2026 at 12:00. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust awarded the contract to Unisurge on 23 June 2026. The awarded value is £62,587.79. The contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2027. The procurement was for goods and the award relates to the complete requirement rather than separately reported awards or lots. The outcome shows a framework-based route with a defined bespoke-pack requirement, rather than an open standalone tender. Unisurge is the active awarded supplier for the full contract period.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from an NHS acute hospital for bespoke procedure packs used in labour suites and theatres, including epidural-related packs. A credible competitor would need the clinical and manufacturing capability to design or configure procedure packs accurately, maintain consistent component quality, and supply medical consumables suitable for operating and maternity environments. Experience working with NHS buyers and framework call-off procedures would be important, as would the operational capacity to manage customised specifications, purchasing, assembly, quality control and reliable hospital delivery. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that scale and established healthcare supply arrangements are relevant commercial strengths.
