UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, located in Doncaster, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of book vouchers intended for doctors. This procurement falls under the goods category and follows a direct non-competitive method as it is below the threshold, making it streamlined and efficient. The contract, valued at £15,600, was awarded on the 10th of June, 2026, with a contract period spanning from the 11th to the 30th of June, 2026. Waterstones Booksellers Limited, a large supplier based in London, was selected as the supplier, highlighting their capability and readiness to fulfil this requirement.

This tender provides a specific opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage with public sector procurement in future similar activities. Business growth can be facilitated by understanding the procurement needs of public organisations like the NHS Trust and aligning one's offerings accordingly. Companies with expertise in supplying goods, particularly those equipped to handle book product distribution or educational resources, would be well-suited to benefit from such procurement opportunities in the future. Emphasizing quality, timely delivery, and familiarity with public sector procurement can position businesses favourably for future contracts.
