UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is buying prone face cushions for use in patient care. The requirement is for medical consumables, specifically cushions used to support patients lying face down. The procurement is a single-lot purchase. The named buying trust is based in Oswestry; the data does not identify a delivery site, so the location of supply cannot be narrowed further. The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is also listed as a buyer in the process. Suppliers of medical consumables with the ability to provide prone-positioning face cushions are the relevant market. The requirement is described as consumables rather than equipment or a wider clinical service.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold route. The process reached tender, with bids submitted electronically through the stated Atamis portal. The single lot has an estimated value of £48,802.54 excluding VAT (£58,563.05 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028. The deadline for enquiries was set for 30 October 2026 at 10:00 UTC, followed by a bid submission deadline of 30 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The award criteria are referred to in the procurement documents. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This is a focused supply opportunity for businesses that manufacture, distribute or otherwise supply prone face cushions as medical consumables. The single-lot requirement may suit specialist suppliers as well as broader healthcare consumables distributors able to meet the hospital’s needs across the contract term. The two-year supply period calls for capacity to fulfil repeat or ongoing orders, rather than a one-off delivery. Both smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable bidders. The procurement data does not set out product specifications, required accreditations, minimum turnover, technical experience or delivery volumes, so suppliers should assess the procurement documents for the detailed product and performance requirements before deciding whether they can meet the requirement.
