Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is buying multi-purpose butterfly-sleeve gowns/shrouds for adults. The requirement is for a single type of reusable or disposable-style garment described as one size fits most adults, in blue with white trim and made from 135gsm material. The item is classified as a cadaver transport bag, so it is intended for use in the handling and transport of deceased adults. This is a goods supply requirement rather than a service or construction project. The buying organisation is an NHS trust serving Shrewsbury and Telford. The procurement does not describe a separate installation, maintenance or operational service, and the requirement is focused on supplying the specified gown/shroud product.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 26 August 2026 at 5:00 pm. Electronic submission was allowed through the specified online procurement system. There is one lot, covering the full requirement. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The award basis is value for money. Suppliers must complete the attached documentation as part of the selection process. This is a competitive tender for a straightforward goods supply, with the contract running for four years once commenced.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist healthcare or mortuary-supplies distributors able to provide adult-sized butterfly-sleeve gowns or shrouds matching the stated specification. Suppliers should be able to supply a one-size garment suitable for most adults, in blue with white trim and using 135gsm material. The requirement is product-focused, so businesses with reliable sourcing, production or distribution arrangements for cadaver transport bags are well placed to compete. The four-year term may suit suppliers with the capacity to maintain consistent availability and fulfil NHS purchase requirements over an extended period. Bidders must also be able to complete the attached tender documentation accurately and submit their offer electronically through the buyer’s procurement system.
