Summary of the contracting process

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a professional bra-fitting and supply service for women receiving care through its Humber and North Yorkshire Adult Secure Women’s Pathway. The service is intended to support dignity, comfort, physical wellbeing and gender-responsive care. It includes showroom appointments for patients receiving care out of area and visits to wards for patients in the local area, with bras supplied as part of the service. The work is a specialist health and social care service. Delivery is across the Humber and North Yorkshire pathway; the procurement also identifies showroom visits for out-of-area patients and ward-based visits for local patients.

The procurement is complete and the Trust selected Janice Rose Lingerie. The award is pending. The direct award was made below the relevant threshold without competition. The stated award value is £13,526.80 excluding VAT (£16,232.16 including VAT). The contract period runs from 11 January 2027 to 10 January 2028, with the possibility of an extension of up to two further years if service objectives and standards are met, assessed through quarterly progress reporting. The award is dated 20 October 2026. The service was procured as one lot. The published service description divides the annual cost into £2,160 for showroom visits and £11,366.80 for ward-based visits; these are cost components, not separate awards.

The buyer’s requirement is for a specialist lingerie supplier able to provide professional bra fitting as well as suitable bras to women receiving care in adult secure services. A credible provider would need to support both showroom appointments for patients from outside the local area and planned ward visits for patients in the Humber and North Yorkshire pathway. This points to a need for flexible, sensitive delivery in both retail and secure-care settings, with the capacity to serve patients in person and provide two bras per person through the relevant visit arrangements. The selected supplier is a small business, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by an SME. For future competition, experience providing discreet, patient-centred fittings across these settings and reliable coordination with care teams would be directly relevant.
