Summary of the contracting process

The Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust has completed a direct award contract titled "Brent Continence Service," focusing on the supply of continence pads and pants to the borough of Brent. This procurement falls under the healthcare industry category, specifically for medical consumables, and involves the distribution to patients' homes and care homes. The procurement was necessitated by delays in onboarding a new logistics supplier due to a tender challenge from the previous year. The contract period started on 5th August 2025 and will end on 31st July 2026, with a total value of £1,103,479.92 GBP. The procurement process was concluded with an award on 3rd October 2025, with Ontex Healthcare UK Ltd serving as the supplier.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the production and distribution of medical consumables, particularly those capable of ensuring reliable supply chain logistics. Companies like Ontex Healthcare UK Ltd, which can offer direct supply solutions and competitive pricing, stand to benefit. The contract secured a 5.5% discount on products for the Brent service, showcasing cost advantages for the buying organisation and illustrating the potential for similar businesses to leverage direct procurement frameworks for financial and client relationship enhancements. This procurement is ideal for large-scale suppliers ready for immediate and continued service delivery in the healthcare sector.
