This innovative product, titled "Hand Hygiene Active Hand Shield," is aimed at reducing healthcare-associated infections.

The process culminated in a contract awarded to Primel Corporation Ltd, a Birmingham-based SME, with the legal basis provided by the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement method employed was direct, with the award phase completed in January 2026 and involving a substantial contract valued at £11.5 million (gross) with a duration through June 2027.

Businesses that specialise in developing and supplying advanced, innovative solutions tailored for healthcare environments are well-positioned to benefit. The guaranteed inclusion of products in the NHS Supply Chain’s catalogue through a framework agreement provides visibility and access to a wide range of NHS Trusts, other NHS entities, and potentially private sector players in the UK healthcare market. The procurement process's focus on innovation aligns with the NHS's mandate to enhance patient care and staff wellbeing, encouraging businesses that can contribute to these outcomes to participate in similar opportunities.
