Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust bought Polyfield Plus woundcare dressing packs for use at Musgrove Park Hospital and associated NHS services in Taunton, Somerset. The requirement is for dressing packs, classified under CPV 33141116, supplied as goods rather than services or works. It is a healthcare consumables requirement delivered in the Somerset area. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain Procedure Packs Framework, specifically the framework route for bespoke procedure packs. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would therefore be manufacturers, distributors or healthcare supply specialists able to provide Polyfield Plus dressing packs and support supply to an NHS foundation trust through the applicable framework arrangements.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and is complete. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a two-year call-off from the NHS Supply Chain Procedure Packs Framework. The requirement was evaluated on price. The contract was awarded to Mediq Healthcare UK Ltd on 1 August 2026, with a contract value of £215,094.60 including the published currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and is active. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. One bid was recorded for the lot. No options were included.

This award shows established NHS demand for woundcare dressing packs supplied through a framework call-off, at a substantial single-contract scale. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to Polyfield Plus or equivalent woundcare dressing packs, the operational capacity to fulfil a two-year NHS supply requirement, and the distribution capability to serve a foundation trust in Somerset. Because price was the stated award basis, suppliers would need a competitive and transparent cost model alongside dependable product availability, order fulfilment and NHS-compliant contract administration. Experience supplying clinical consumables to hospitals, and eligibility to work through the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework route, would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next competed.
