Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of cleanroom clothing services for the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has been completed. The contracting authority is NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. The contract covers the lease, laundering, delivery, collection, and repair of garments for compliance with EU GMP and MHRA standards across several facilities including the St Mary’s Pharmaceutical Unit and the University Hospital of Wales. The procurement falls under the goods category with a specific focus on occupational clothing, categorized with CPV code 18100000. The contract was awarded to ELIS UK LIMITED, and it was signed on 4th December 2025, with an active status and a contract value of £120,817.17. The procurement method used was a limited approach, utilizing a direct award through the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative framework to facilitate an expedited contracting process without a full tender due to technical reasons and pre-approved supplier availability.

This tender represents a considerable opportunity for businesses involved in the supply and handling of specialised occupational clothing. Particularly, companies with expertise in cleanroom environments and those familiar with compliance to EU GMP standards would find this an advantageous venture for growth. Given the technical requirements and the framework's pre-approval conditions, businesses that have already established relationships with procurement frameworks or have a track record of providing high-quality controlled environment solutions would be well-positioned to compete in similar future opportunities. The contract's emphasis on service continuity and operational compliance also indicates a need for reliable and steadfast suppliers who can ensure uninterrupted supply chains to healthcare facilities.
