UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured sterile services for its healthcare operations. The requirement is classified under medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, as well as health and social work services, indicating work connected with the handling and provision of sterile healthcare-related services and supplies. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Kent. The procurement covered a single requirement rather than multiple separately described service packages. This opportunity is relevant to healthcare service providers and specialist suppliers supporting hospital sterile services, medical products or associated health and social care operations, particularly businesses able to deliver such services to an NHS foundation trust.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. IHSS Limited was selected as the supplier on 5 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract has a gross value of £22,903.70, with a net value of £19,086.42. It runs from 5 August 2026 to 5 August 2027. The award is active and relates to the single lot in the procurement. The route used was a direct award, described as below threshold without competition, rather than an open tender. The outcome shows a one-year sterile-services requirement purchased by Medway NHS Foundation Trust from IHSS Limited, an SME supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for sterile services delivered at modest contract scale over a one-year period. Businesses considering similar work for Medway NHS Foundation Trust would need credible capability in sterile healthcare services and a practical understanding of hospital operating environments. Relevant experience in supplying or supporting medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, or health and social work services would strengthen a supplier’s position. Competitors should be able to show reliable service delivery, appropriate quality and safety controls, and the operational capacity to support NHS requirements consistently. IHSS Limited’s selection indicates that an SME can serve this type of requirement, making it relevant to specialist small and medium-sized healthcare suppliers as well as larger providers.
