Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited, trading as NHS Supply Chain, procured patient temperature management equipment and related medical goods for healthcare use across the UK. The range covers forced-air warming blankets, gowns and warming units; blood and fluid warming equipment and consumables; patient temperature management equipment; passive and active warming products; and temperature sensors and probes. The requirement includes both capital equipment and consumables or accessories, with separate groupings for these in several product areas. NHS Supply Chain runs the purchasing framework, with orders available to NHS trusts, other NHS bodies, government departments and agencies, statutory bodies, and private-sector organisations active in UK healthcare. This is a nationwide supply opportunity for manufacturers and distributors of clinical temperature management products and associated medical consumables.

The procurement is complete and awards have been made to multiple suppliers across eight lots; the awards were pending contract signature in the published outcome. The open procedure established a closed framework with competition reopened for orders. Awarded suppliers are: forced-air warming capital equipment—Aquilant, Central Medical Supplies, GBUK, HC21, KCI Medical, Leib Medical and TSC Lifesciences; its consumables and accessories—Aquilant, GBUK, HC21, KCI Medical, TSC Lifesciences and Wiliams Medical Supplies; blood and fluid warming capital equipment—Central Medical Supplies, Fenton Pharmaceuticals, GBUK, KCI Medical, Leib Medical, Novus Med, Ortus Technology, Smiths Medical and TSC Lifesciences; and related consumables—Central Medical Supplies, Fenton Pharmaceuticals, GBUK, KCI Medical, Novus Med, Ortus Technology, Smiths Medical and TSC Lifesciences. The three patient-temperature equipment lots and passive/active products and sensors also have separate multi-supplier awards. Each lot is valued at £150 million excluding VAT (£180 million including VAT). The framework runs from 21 June 2027 to 20 June 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years. Awards are dated 17 September 2026. Scoring weights vary by lot: price 30–50%, resilience 25–35%, contract management 15–25%, and social value 10%.

This framework shows sustained NHS demand for a broad, specialist range of patient warming and temperature monitoring products, with procurement divided between capital equipment, consumables and accessories, and distinct clinical product categories. Suppliers may compete for one or several product areas; the buyer marked every lot as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Credible suppliers will need resilient supply chains and strong contract management, since these were substantial scored elements alongside price and social value. For a future competition, product manufacturers and distributors should be prepared to evidence quality management through ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 or MDSAP certification accredited by UKAS or an equivalent body, covering the supply chain. Relevant CE certification and declarations of conformity are required where applicable. Other stated expectations include modern slavery reporting and assessment, completion of the Evergreen supplier assessment, a compliant carbon reduction plan, and Cyber Essentials Plus where suppliers handle personal or patient data or provide IT systems, services or devices.
