Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured cryopreserved human skin allografts marketed as Cryoskin for Swansea Bay University Health Board. The goods are clinically approved allograft products for a tertiary Burns Centre, supporting treatment of burn injuries through temporary wound coverage. Their purpose is to promote healing, reduce pain and minimise infection risk. The requirement includes provision, appropriate storage and delivery of the Cryoskin products to the Swansea Bay area, with supply aligned to relevant clinical, regulatory, safety and quality standards. This is a specialist medical consumables requirement rather than a general healthcare supply contract, focused on human tissue allografts for burn-care services and the associated handling and distribution arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. Hospital Innovations Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was recorded on 22 July 2026 and the contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 30 June 2029. Its value is £303,897.72 including tax, and the contract is active. The stated route was a direct award rather than an open or competitive tender. The procurement description required suppliers to demonstrate proven experience in supplying human tissue allografts, meet the specialised needs of a tertiary Burns Centre, provide reliable supply and comply with clinical governance requirements. The award covered medical consumables for delivery in the Swansea Bay area.

This procurement indicates sustained specialist demand from Welsh NHS burn-care services for human tissue allografts, including the storage, handling and delivery controls needed for clinically sensitive products. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would have an established portfolio of clinically approved allografts, demonstrable experience supplying human tissue products and robust regulatory, quality and safety systems. They would also need dependable production or sourcing arrangements, controlled storage and distribution, traceability, and the capacity to maintain supply to a tertiary Burns Centre. Experience of clinical governance, working with NHS health boards and supporting treatment pathways for serious burns would strengthen credibility. Specialist medical consumables businesses, tissue banks and experienced healthcare distributors with suitable partnerships are the most relevant competitors for this requirement.
