Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board bought cryopreserved allograft Cryoskin for clinical treatment of burn injuries at its Burns Centre. The products provide temporary wound coverage to promote healing, reduce pain and minimise infection risk for patients with burns. The requirement includes the provision, storage and delivery of clinically approved allograft Cryoskin products, with compliance with relevant regulatory, safety and quality standards. This is a medical consumables supply opportunity managed through NHS Wales procurement services for the health board. The work is delivered to the Burns Centre serving Swansea Bay University Health Board. The procurement covers one requirement and is categorised as goods rather than clinical treatment, construction or general healthcare services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. One lot was awarded to HOSPITAL INNOVATIONS LIMITED, an SME. The award date was 22 July 2026. The net awarded value is £227,923.29, with a gross value of £273,507.95, both in GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 30 June 2029. The award is active, while the tender itself is complete. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award rather than competitive tendering. The supplier was selected for the stated specialist capability to supply human-tissue allografts, support a tertiary Burns Centre, provide reliable supply and meet clinical governance requirements. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement indicates demand from a Welsh NHS burns service for a specialist medical consumables supplier able to provide cryopreserved human-tissue allografts rather than standard wound-care products. A credible future competitor would need proven experience supplying human tissue allografts, access to clinically approved Cryoskin products and robust arrangements for storage and delivery. It would also need to demonstrate dependable supply for a tertiary Burns Centre, with effective contingency planning and quality controls. Regulatory compliance, patient safety, traceability and clinical governance would be central to winning confidence. The requirement is suitable for an SME, but suppliers would need sufficient specialist capacity and operational resilience to support burn-care services consistently.
