Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust and located in Cardiff, has completed a procurement process for the title "Interim NWSSP Laundry Linen Products" within the hospital linen industry category. This procurement falls under the goods category and was conducted using a limited method without prior publication. The procurement process, classified under the CPV code 39518000, has reached the award stage, and the contract was signed on 26th August 2025. The procurement utilised the NHS Supply Chain framework with a total contract value of £250,000, and the delivery location is specified as NHS Wales in the UKL region.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for entities capable of providing hospital linen products. The direct award method, chosen due to a lack of suitable tenders, suggests that organisations with specialised products compliant with NHS standards are well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like James Walker, which successfully secured this contract, demonstrate potential for success. Businesses within the healthcare supplies sector that can align with NHS procurement frameworks should consider engaging in similar opportunities to expand their market presence.
