Summary of the contracting process

The Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust has awarded a contract for the "Brent Continence Service" under a direct award process. This contract involves the supply of continence pads and pants to patients' homes and care homes in the Brent borough. The procurement process falls within the "Goods" category, specifically targeting the medical consumables industry, and occurs within the London Region. The procurement method was a direct award, rationalised by the necessity to continue services while a new logistics supplier is being mobilised. The total gross value of the award amounts to GBP 1,103,479.92, starting from 5th August 2025 until 31st July 2026. A deadline to sign the contract is scheduled for 4th August 2025.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in medical consumables, especially those with capacity for high-volume supply and distribution. Firms providing innovative or cost-effective solutions in logistics or product supply may find opportunities to engage in subcontracts or partnership arrangements given the ongoing logistical transition indicated in the procurement rationale. The increased discount rate achieved in this contract suggests that competitive pricing and the ability to ensure reliability and continuity in supply could be advantageous for businesses looking to align with public health service requirements.

Notice Title

Brent Continence Service

Notice Description

Continuation of service for the supply of continence pads and pants to the borough of Brent with Ontex to patients homes and care homes, whilst waiting for NHSSC HDS to undergo the mobilisation of their new logistics supplier following their tender last year which received a challenge and caused delays to onboarding new customers.

Procurement Information

Continuation of service for the supply of continence pads and pants to the borough of Brent whilst waiting for NHSSC HDS to undergo the mobilisation of their new logistics supplier following their tender last year which received a challenge and caused delays to onboarding new customers. As a result, we have secured a 5.5% discount on products for 12 months for the Brent service which is higher than utilising the 3% discount available via the SBS framework. Risks of this not being processed are increased costs to the Trust for the supply of Continence Pads and Pants.
