Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust procured multi-purpose butterfly-sleeve gowns/shrouds, classified as cadaver transport bags. This is a medical consumables supply requirement for the Trust. The award and contract cover one lot, with the goods intended for the Trust’s hospital services. The item description points to a specialist product combining gown and shroud functions; the procurement data does not further describe specifications or delivery arrangements. Suppliers working in medical consumables, healthcare textiles or products for mortuary and deceased-patient handling would find the subject relevant. The buyer is the NHS Trust serving Shrewsbury and Telford, and the contract is for supply of goods rather than works or a service. The named supplier is based in Leighton Buzzard, but this does not identify the delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MIP UK Limited, which signed the contract on 22 September 2026. The award was made through an open, below-threshold competition. The stated evaluation basis was value for money, and the selection requirement was completion of the attached documentation. The contract covers one lot and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 5pm. The contract is active, and the award is active. The Trust’s purchase is for multi-purpose butterfly-sleeve gowns/shrouds, described in the tender classification as cadaver transport bags.

For suppliers assessing future requirements from this Trust, the award demonstrates demand for multi-purpose butterfly-sleeve gowns/shrouds used in deceased-patient handling. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified type of medical consumable reliably and demonstrate value for money in an open competition. The selected supplier was a large company, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier operating at commercial scale, although the procurement does not establish that only large businesses can compete. Suppliers should be able to complete the required procurement documentation and offer products suitable for the Trust’s hospital use. Relevant capabilities include sourcing or manufacturing healthcare textiles and consumables, consistent product availability and dependable supply. The published requirement does not state particular accreditations, technical standards, quantities or service obligations, so these cannot be treated as proven conditions of the award.
