Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is procuring continence products with home delivery for acute, community health and social care services. The requirement covers the supply and delivery of incontinence products, classified under home delivery of incontinence products (CPV 85142400). Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site at Elizabeth House in Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire, and with the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. This is a healthcare supplies and logistics requirement rather than a construction or consultancy contract. The named supplier is Essity UK Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 5 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award was made to Essity UK Limited on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £13,805,136 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 6 July 2029. The tender’s estimated value was £6,902,568, while the award value is reported separately and must not be treated as an overall total with it. The requirement is for services, and the opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates sustained NHS demand for continence products combined with dependable home-delivery capability. A credible future competitor would need to supply a broad range of incontinence products at substantial scale, manage accurate and discreet order fulfilment, and deliver reliably to patients or service locations across multiple territories. The successful supplier profile indicates that significant operational capacity, established healthcare supply-chain arrangements and the ability to support community as well as acute care are important. Businesses considering this market should be able to demonstrate consistent product availability, robust distribution processes and experience handling geographically dispersed NHS requirements through a framework call-off route.
