Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured cryopreserved allograft skin marketed as Cryoskin. The goods are for a Burns Centre and are used in treating patients with burn injuries. The supply supports temporary wound coverage, helping promote healing, reduce pain and minimise infection risk. The requirement covers the provision, storage and delivery of clinically approved Cryoskin products, in accordance with relevant regulatory, safety and quality standards. It is a specialist medical supplies requirement involving human tissue allografts and the operational needs of a tertiary Burns Centre. Delivery is for use within NHS Wales clinical care. The buyer is based in Cardiff, Wales.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award to Hospital Innovations Limited, justified on the basis of a specialised supplier and single-supplier technical and performance reasons. The award was made on 10 June 2026 for £303,897.72 including VAT, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and is recorded as active, with a contract value of £303,897.72 including VAT and a period from 22 July 2026 to 30 September 2029. The award described a period from 1 August 2026 to 30 June 2029. There was one completed lot, identified as suitable for SMEs, and the award value was above the relevant threshold. An option covers Cryoskin allografts for treating burns patients.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers specialising in clinically approved human tissue allografts, cryopreserved skin and related medical products for burn care. A credible competitor would need proven experience supplying human tissue allografts, reliable continuity of supply and the capability to provide appropriate storage and delivery arrangements. It would also need to demonstrate compliance with regulatory, safety and quality standards, alongside robust clinical governance and traceability. Experience supporting a tertiary Burns Centre would help a supplier understand specialised clinical requirements, patient-safety controls and the need for dependable provision to support treatment. The completed award shows demand for a specialist medical supplier able to combine product expertise with secure logistics and NHS-facing quality assurance.
