Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust involved a direct award contract for the provision of high-security vapes, liquid pods, and associated waste recycling services. This initiative aims to support patients in secure mental health environments as a stop-smoking aid while complying with necessary NHS regulations, including MHRA and NICE stipulations. The contract, valued at £275,000 (gross amount of £330,000 GBP), commenced on 1st October 2025 and will run until 30th September 2028, with an option for renewal up to 2030. The awarded supplier, eBurn Limited, is located in Leeds and specialises in goods aligned with the tender requirements. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category and primarily covers the UK region of Nottingham (UKF14), reflecting seamless integration in health service provision within central government operations.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like eBurn Limited, which showcase expertise in designing products tailored to high-security mental health settings. Firms specialising in medical and health products, particularly those adhering to stringent regulatory environments, will find opportunities to expand their market reach and bolster their portfolios. The contract’s flexibility to adapt products according to evolving regulations also encourages businesses to innovate. Companies with capabilities in nicotine substitutes, waste recycling, and container production for disposable items will be well-suited to compete for similar procurement opportunities.
