Summary of the contracting process

East of England NHS collaborative Procurement Hub established a framework for aseptic cleanroom consumables and laundry services used in NHS pharmacy aseptic units to prepare aseptic and non-sterile products. The requirement covers four areas: disinfectants and detergents; reusable cleanroom garments and mopheads, including laundry processing and collection and return; disposable cleanroom garments; and other cleanroom consumables. The framework is available for use by public sector and publicly funded organisations across the United Kingdom, including NHS bodies, integrated care boards, GP practices, government departments, local authorities, education providers, emergency services and eligible charities and social enterprises. The principal work is the supply of medical and cleanroom products, with laundry processing and transport services also required. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for all four areas.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been signed following a below-threshold open competition. It created an open framework allowing direct awards or mini-competitions among appointed suppliers, with an unranked award basis under which all suitable suppliers were appointed. Lot 1, Disinfectants and Detergents, was awarded on 17 August 2026 to AGMA, Ansell, Connect 2 Cleanrooms, Micronclean and Riverside Medical Packaging: £3,750,000 excluding VAT, £4,500,000 including VAT. Lot 2, Reusable Garments and Laundry Services, went to Elis UK, Micronclean and Synergy Health Managed Services on the same value. Lot 3, Disposable Garments, went to Ansell, Connect 2 Cleanrooms, Elis UK, Micronclean, Mölnlycke Health Care and Valley Northern. Lot 4, Cleanroom Consumables, went to Ansell, Connect 2 Cleanrooms, Micronclean, Riverside Medical Packaging and Valley Northern, also at the same value. All contracts were signed on 1 September 2026, run to 31 August 2029 and can be extended once for 12 months, to 31 August 2030.

This procurement shows sustained UK public-sector demand for products and services supporting pharmacy aseptic units, with opportunities divided into focused supply and service areas rather than a single all-encompassing requirement. Credible competitors would need dependable manufacture or distribution of disinfectants, detergents, disposable garments or cleanroom consumables, or the operational capacity to process, collect and return reusable cleanroom garments and mopheads. Suppliers should be able to support customers across the UK and meet the practical demands of cleanroom and aseptic environments, including consistent product availability, controlled handling, reliable logistics and responsive service delivery. The appointed supplier mix includes both small and large businesses, indicating that established specialist SMEs as well as larger healthcare, garment, laundry and medical-packaging providers can be relevant. The framework route also shows that future public-sector purchasing may involve direct awards or mini-competitions among appointed suppliers.
