UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Ultraplast Wax" was conducted by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located in Cambridge, UK (postcode CB2 0QQ). This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically waxes, and was executed using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The process culminated at the award stage on 30th June 2026. The contract was awarded to Solmedia Limited, based in Shrewsbury. The contract period spans from 30th June 2026 to 29th September 2026, with a total value of GBP 41,316.48.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in the supply of histology waxes and related goods. Companies that can meet niche requirements in medical and scientific fields would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. Given the direct procurement method used and the focus on quick, efficient supply solutions, smaller enterprises with the capability to deliver specialised materials like Ultraplast Histogram Wax can find opportunities to grow by engaging in future procurement efforts with central government public authorities like the NHS.
