Summary of the contracting process

The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is buying prone face cushions, listed as medical consumables. The requirement is for supplies rather than services or works, and the description identifies the product as consumables without further technical detail. The Trust is the named buyer. The data also lists The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust as a buyer, but does not describe its specific role in this purchase. The Trusts are based in Oswestry and Shrewsbury respectively; no delivery location is stated, so the intended destination of the cushions cannot be identified from the procurement details.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The process reached the tender stage. It is divided into one lot, with a stated estimated value of £48,802.54 excluding VAT (£58,563.05 including VAT). The contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028. The deadline for questions was 30 October 2026 at 10:00 UTC, and the deadline for offers was 30 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed through the stated procurement portal. The award basis is referred to in the procurement documents, rather than described in the tender data, so the relative importance of price and quality cannot be determined here.

This requirement may suit medical consumables suppliers able to source or manufacture prone face cushions and supply them to NHS organisations. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable, so the opportunity is not presented as being limited to larger suppliers. The contract covers a single product category and a two-year supply period, which may suit businesses with capacity to fulfil repeat requirements over that term. No particular accreditation, technical specification, delivery volume, staffing level or prior experience requirement is stated in the available procurement details, so suppliers should check the procurement documents for product standards, quantities, delivery arrangements and the evaluation rules before deciding whether they can meet the requirement.
