UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply of urine stands for use across its clinical departments and specialties. The goods are classified as urine-bottle holders and medical consumables. The arrangement is intended to move purchases from off-contract to on-contract spend, supporting procurement governance, financial control and value for money. Products are supplied through a catalogue-based arrangement: a structured schedule of pre-priced goods with product descriptions, codes and units of measure, made available through the Trust’s recognised ordering systems. The buyer is Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based at Cheltenham General Hospital in Gloucester. The requirement concerns the supply of physical medical goods rather than installation, construction or professional services, and is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of urine stands and related clinical consumables.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust made a below-threshold direct award without competition to Becton Dickinson UK Limited. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £400 excluding any applicable taxes, or £480 gross. There was one completed lot covering the urine-stand supply. The procedure used a PA23-regulated direct award delivered through a catalogue-based arrangement, rather than an open tender or competitive evaluation. The selected supplier is Becton Dickinson UK Limited. The contract is recorded as active, and the award is recorded as active. The published outcome therefore confirms the buyer, route to market, supplier, financial scale and contract term.

This award indicates established NHS demand for urine stands and related medical consumables within Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would have dependable access to suitable clinical products, clear product coding and unit-of-measure data, and the ability to provide pre-priced catalogue lines. They would also need ordering and fulfilment arrangements that work across multiple clinical departments and specialties, with consistent supply and straightforward drawdown against agreed terms and prices. Manufacturers, authorised distributors and medical-consumables specialists with experience supplying NHS organisations could use this procurement as a useful benchmark for the product scope, catalogue format and relatively small contract scale expected by this buyer.

Notice Title

Supply of Urine Stands

Notice Description

Further Justification for Direct Award: The selected procurement route is a PA23 regulated below-threshold direct award, to be delivered through the establishment of a catalogue-based arrangement. This forms part of an initiative to transition expenditure from off-contract to on-contract spend, thereby strengthening procurement governance, financial control and demonstrable value for money. For the purposes of this arrangement, a catalogue is defined as a structured schedule of pre-priced goods (and associated descriptions, codes and units of measure) made available to multiple clinical departments and specialties via the Trust's recognised ordering systems, enabling requisitioners to draw down approved items against an agreed set of terms and prices. Such catalogues typically encompass a diverse range of product lines which would not naturally be grouped into a single tender exercise due to differing clinical applications, technical s
