Summary of the contracting process

Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust procured continence products for home delivery to patients in Brent. The requirement covers medical consumables supplied directly for home use, under the service titled Continence Home Delivery – Brent CLCH. The buyer is an NHS trust serving central London communities. The delivery location is Brent, United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement rather than a clinical service, construction project or general logistics contract. It is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors of continence care products with the ability to support patient home deliveries and NHS supply arrangements. The requirement is focused on maintaining continuity of continence product supply while the Trust moves to a different supply route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The stated reason was to continue supply and minimise service disruption while the Trust waited to onboard to NHS Supply Chain HDS. One lot was completed. Ontex Healthcare UK Limited was selected for an award valued at £1,265,826.50 excluding VAT, or £1,518,991.80 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is above the relevant threshold. The available procurement information does not set out scored evaluation criteria; the route was a direct award based on continuation of the existing supply. A scheduled signature milestone was due on 25 August 2026.

This procurement demonstrates substantial NHS demand for continence products delivered to patients’ homes in Brent, with continuity of supply treated as a key operational priority. A future competitor would need dependable access to a suitable range of continence medical consumables, reliable stock management and the infrastructure to fulfil individual home deliveries. Experience supplying healthcare organisations and working with NHS procurement or supply-chain arrangements would support credibility, particularly where a supplier must transfer or maintain patient supply without interruption. The incumbent was a large specialist healthcare supplier, indicating that operational scale, established distribution capability and the ability to support an NHS onboarding process are commercially important for this buyer’s requirement.
