Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust procured enteral feeding products and associated consumables for use across its acute and community care services. The requirement supports the Trust’s provision of nutritional products and patient pathways as part of NHS England’s Nutrition on Prescription programme. The goods are for delivery in Greater Manchester. The scope covered enteral feeds and related consumable items.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Abbott Laboratories Limited. The recorded contract value is £685,000, and the contract was signed on 26 October 2026. The process used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, with the stated rationale of maintaining the existing supplier while the Nutrition on Prescription programme was being undertaken. The requirement was arranged as one lot, but that lot is recorded as cancelled; the award itself is recorded as active. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded.

This award shows demand at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust for a combined supply of enteral feeds and related consumables supporting patients across acute and community care. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to supply a consistent range of nutritional products and associated items, and demonstrate the ability to support the Trust’s patient pathways and provision across both care settings. The stated rationale also indicates that continuity of supply during a wider NHS England programme mattered to the buyer. Suppliers should therefore be able to maintain dependable provision while accommodating a programme focused on consistency of products and processes. The successful supplier was a large company, indicating the scale of supplier that won this award; the published evaluation basis was price.
