Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Supply of Podiatry Consumables and Materials". This engagement is primarily targeted within the medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and personal care products industry category, focusing on locations across the United Kingdom. The current planning phase includes a market engagement notice published on 16th January 2026, with a deadline for pre-market engagement responses on 30th January 2026. This process follows an open procedure with future communication expected by 12th October 2026.

This upcoming tender presents a significant business opportunity, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that supply podiatry consumables and materials. The planned framework agreement offers a potential contract value of approximately £2 million, fostering business growth and expanding market reach throughout Wales. Companies with expertise in providing medical consumables, specifically podiatry-related products, are well-suited to compete, particularly those capable of entering into long-term agreements starting from January 2027.
