UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited is buying theatre shoes for standardisation across South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust. This is a goods requirement for specialist footwear used in hospital operating theatres. Delivery is for services in South Tyneside and Sunderland. The requirement covers one lot and is suited to businesses supplying theatre, clinical or other occupational footwear. Suppliers able to provide consistent products across NHS hospital settings may be relevant, particularly where their range supports standardisation between sites. The buying organisation is based at Sunderland Royal Hospital and operates on behalf of the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust. The classification is CPV 18800000, footwear.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Both enquiries and bid submissions had a deadline of 28 September 2026 at 5.00pm. Offers were to be submitted electronically through the buyer’s online system. The contract is planned to run from 5 November 2026 to 4 November 2029. The estimated value is £51,000 excluding VAT, or £61,200 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 90% to cost and 10% to quality, so price is the dominant basis for selecting the supplier. The procurement is below the relevant threshold and uses the open procedure for competition.

This opportunity suits footwear manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist healthcare or occupational footwear suppliers able to provide theatre shoes for NHS hospital use. Businesses should be positioned to supply a consistent standardised product across South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, rather than a one-off purchase for a single location. Suppliers with dependable sourcing, product availability and distribution arrangements are likely to be well placed, because the requirement involves supporting standardisation across hospital settings. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to participate. Commercial competitiveness will be especially important because cost carries 90% of the evaluation weighting, while quality accounts for 10%. A supplier’s ability to demonstrate product quality and reliable fulfilment will therefore support its offer.
