Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust procured dental consumables for use across its clinical departments and specialties. The requirement covers a diverse range of dental product lines, reflecting different clinical applications and technical needs, rather than a single narrowly defined product. The goods are arranged through a catalogue-based purchasing arrangement: a structured schedule of pre-priced items with descriptions, product codes and units of measure, available through the Trust’s recognised ordering systems. The arrangement is intended to move dental consumables expenditure from off-contract purchasing to approved on-contract purchasing, supporting consistent ordering, financial control and value for money. This is a goods requirement for a healthcare supplier able to provide dental consumables across a broad catalogue and support institutional clinical purchasing.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. Wright Health Group Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 16 July 2026 to 1 January 2027. Its value is £24,778 excluding VAT, or £29,733 including VAT. The process comprised one lot and the contract remains active. The arrangement uses a catalogue model rather than a competitive tender, so the selected supplier provides approved, pre-priced dental consumables for departments to order under agreed terms and prices. The award relates to dental consumables (CPV 33141800), with the Trust seeking a controlled route for varied clinical product requirements.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust for dental consumables supplied through a controlled catalogue. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a broad and dependable range of dental products, with clear descriptions, product codes, units of measure and pre-agreed pricing that can be maintained across many lines. It would also need to support different clinical departments and specialties whose requirements are not naturally combined into one narrow product tender. Operational capability matters: suppliers should be able to integrate or work reliably with the Trust’s recognised ordering systems, fulfil varied clinical orders consistently and provide the product information needed for compliant purchasing. Experience supplying healthcare organisations and managing catalogue-based arrangements would strengthen a competing proposition.

Notice Description

Further Justification for Direct Award: The selected procurement route is a PA23 regulated below threshold direct award, to be delivered through the establishment of a catalogue based arrangement. This forms part of an initiative to transition expenditure from off contract to on contract spend, thereby strengthening procurement governance, financial control and demonstrable value for money. For the purposes of this arrangement, a catalogue is defined as a structured schedule of prepriced goods (and associated descriptions, codes and units of measure) made available to multiple clinical departments and specialties via the Trust's recognised ordering systems, enabling requisitioners to draw down approved items against an agreed set of terms and prices. Such catalogues typically encompass a diverse range of product lines which would not naturally be grouped into a single tender exercise due to differing clinical applications, technical s
