Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process orchestrated by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting through the UK Health Security Agency, involves a contract titled "Medical Affixation Dressings for Pandemic Preparedness 25/26". This contract focuses on the purchase of medical consumables, specifically medical affixation dressings, to be included in a stockpile for pandemic preparedness. Located across the United Kingdom, the procurement falls under the category of goods. The process has reached the award stage and was completed on 9th January 2026. The procurement method deployed was 'limited', signifying an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the necessity to replenish expiring stock essential for pandemic readiness. The contract was awarded to Mediq Healthcare UK Limited, with the formal agreement signed on 27th November 2025. The total contract value was not disclosed to protect public interest.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in the production and supply of medical consumables, particularly those complying with NHS Supply Chain frameworks. Organisations capable of delivering quality medical affixation dressings at competitive prices, and with an understanding of public health infrastructure, will find this procurement a lucrative opportunity for business expansion. The limited nature of the procurement suggests that established suppliers with existing framework agreements or industry relationships could be well-positioned to capitalise on similar future opportunities. Engaging with such contracts not only provides financial growth potential but also contributes significantly to national public health preparedness efforts.
