Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board is procuring cryopreserved allograft skin, marketed as Cryoskin, for clinical treatment of burn injuries at its Burns Centre in Wales. The requirement covers the supply, storage and delivery of clinically approved allograft Cryoskin products. The products provide temporary wound coverage intended to promote healing, reduce pain and minimise infection risk for patients with burns. This is a specialist medical consumables requirement involving human tissue allografts and the needs of a tertiary Burns Centre. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services manages the procurement, with NHS Wales identified as the procuring entity. The work is associated with the Swansea Bay area, including delivery in the Swansea Bay University Health Board’s locality.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, covering one lot. Hospital Innovations Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 30 June 2029. Its value is £227,923.29 excluding VAT, or £273,507.95 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The published outcome identifies medical consumables as the procurement category. The award relates to the complete Cryoskin requirement, including provision, storage and delivery for the Burns Centre, and the contract remains active.

This procurement shows a defined NHS Wales requirement for specialist human tissue allografts used in burn care. Suppliers seeking to compete when a similar requirement returns would need proven experience supplying allograft products and the operational capability to provide, store and deliver clinically approved Cryoskin or equivalent products. Credibility would depend on meeting relevant regulatory, safety and quality standards, maintaining reliable supply, and working within clinical governance requirements. The buyer’s need is for a dependable specialist medical consumables supplier able to support a tertiary Burns Centre, rather than a general healthcare distributor. Businesses with established human-tissue supply arrangements, controlled storage and healthcare delivery capability are best placed to pursue this requirement.
