## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust focused on Advanced Wound Care & Lymphoedema Products and Services, particularly targeting the provision of stockings and related medical supplies. This award stage of the process concluded with a successful contract awarded to Essity UK Limited. The nature of this tender is selective, operating on a call-off basis from a framework agreement. Located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, this contract is valued at £150,000. The awarded contract commenced on 2nd July 2026 and will run until 30th June 2027.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in medical supplies and logistics, especially those capable of offering efficient 'just in time' delivery models. While the tender was not targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, larger suppliers with experience in healthcare procurement, such as the awarded Essity UK Limited, are likely well-suited to meet the needs of the NHS, reducing operational costs while enhancing service delivery efficiency in wound care management.

## Notice

The framework agreement supports the NHS to reduce the nursing time required to manage wound care in the community. It provides a wide choice of high-quality dressings, including dressings, bandages, hosiery, dressing packs, haemostats and skin and burns products, to clinicians via a 'just in time' total purchase delivery model, which minimises inventory storage costs and improves overall efficiency. The lot is Advanced and Wound Care and Lymphoedema Compression Bandages.
