Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is seeking fully managed commercial storage and distribution services for medical consumables, primarily pandemic personal protective equipment (PPE) resilience stock. The requirement covers storage and warehousing, inventory handling and associated distribution to support NHS Wales supply resilience. Suppliers can provide services in North Wales, South-East Wales or South-West Wales, with the procurement divided into three regional lots. The work is classified as storage and warehousing services (CPV 63120000). This is a Welsh public-sector requirement for logistics operators, warehousing providers and distribution specialists able to manage medical consumables and PPE stock across the relevant Welsh region or regions.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline is 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders are due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. Offers may be submitted electronically in English or Welsh. The anticipated award decision date is 8 October 2026. The contract period for every lot is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with a possible extension to 30 November 2028 at the buyer’s discretion. The estimated overall value is £734,000 excluding VAT (£880,800 including VAT). Lot values excluding VAT are £146,800 for North Wales and £293,600 each for South-East Wales and South-West Wales. Suppliers may bid for one, two or all three lots. Each lot is assessed independently, with technical quality weighted 40% and commercial price 60%.

This opportunity suits commercial warehousing, third-party logistics and distribution businesses with facilities, systems and operational capacity for fully managed storage of medical consumables, particularly PPE resilience stock. Suppliers should be able to provide the associated distribution service and support reliable regional NHS supply operations. The structure allows a business to compete for one regional lot, several lots or all three, making it relevant to both regional operators and providers with broader Welsh coverage. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Strong technical delivery capability matters alongside competitive pricing, because quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation. Businesses with proven healthcare, medical-supply or PPE logistics experience are likely to be well placed to demonstrate suitability.
