UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, through the South West London Procurement Partnership, is buying lymphoedema garments and associated clinical products. The supplies will support patients with chronic oedema and lymphoedema. The requirement covers one procurement lot and is for goods rather than services or works. Delivery and use are associated with the Trust’s hospital service in London. This opportunity will suit manufacturers, specialist distributors and healthcare suppliers with an established range of compression or lymphoedema garments, fittings and related accessories. The requirement is aimed at supporting patient treatment, so suppliers should be able to provide products suitable for clinical use and for patients with chronic oedema or lymphoedema. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline and tender submission deadline are both 1 September 2026 at 13:00 BST. Evaluation is weighted 50% quality, 10% social value and 40% price. The award decision is due by 9 November 2026. The estimated value is £6,000,000 excluding tax and £7,200,000 including tax. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible one-year extensions on a 1+1 basis, giving a latest stated end date of 31 March 2032. Tender documents are accessed through Atamis, and electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits suppliers with specialist capability in lymphoedema and chronic-oedema products, including the manufacture, sourcing, distribution or clinical supply of garments and associated accessories. Businesses should be able to demonstrate product quality and reliability in a healthcare setting, with systems for supplying items that support patient treatment and ongoing clinical use. The evaluation gives quality the greatest emphasis, so suppliers will need a strong technical and service proposition rather than competing on price alone. Social value is also assessed, making relevant community, employment, environmental or wider social commitments commercially important. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, which may make it relevant to specialist manufacturers, niche healthcare distributors and smaller firms able to provide dependable supply, responsive customer support and sufficient capacity for an NHS contract.
