UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is buying pregnancy test strips as medical consumables. The requirement is for the supply of goods to support the Trust’s healthcare services. The procurement is organised as a single requirement and is intended for delivery to the Trust, whose address is in Shrewsbury. This is a focused opportunity for suppliers of pregnancy testing products and related medical consumables rather than for clinical services, construction or general facilities management. Businesses with an established product range, distribution capability and the ability to supply an NHS hospital trust should find the requirement relevant. The procurement is classified under the medical consumables category (CPV 33140000).

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 11:00, and enquiries closed on 14 September 2026 at 11:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. The estimated value is £7,079.41 excluding VAT, or £8,495.29 including VAT. There is one lot, with the same value and contract period. Bids may be submitted electronically through the buyer’s online procurement system. The award criteria are set out in the procurement documents. An amendment corrected the submission deadline to 21 September 2026.

This opportunity suits suppliers specialising in pregnancy test strips, diagnostic consumables or wider medical consumables, particularly businesses able to supply NHS organisations reliably. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to established specialist distributors as well as larger healthcare supply companies. Strong candidates are likely to have dependable sourcing, stock management, order fulfilment and distribution arrangements for hospital use, together with products that meet the technical and quality requirements in the procurement documents. Suppliers should be able to maintain consistent supply over the contract term and manage electronic tender submission. The opportunity is most relevant to businesses with relevant medical consumables experience and the operational capacity to support a hospital trust.
