## Summary

The East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust has finalised the procurement process for rationalising hand hygiene products, consolidating supply to a single source supplier. The contract, valued at £60,000, has been awarded to Essity UK Ltd for the supply of Tork products. This decision was made to ensure stability and assurance of product supply following the liquidation of the previous supplier, GOJO. The procurement stage is in the Award phase as of 21 October 2024, with the contract period starting on 1 October 2024 and ending on 30 September 2027. The industry category for this contract is soap and hand care products, and the location for delivery is Nottingham, United Kingdom.

This procurement creates significant business growth opportunities for entities experienced in providing hygiene and healthcare products. Even though this specific opportunity has already been awarded, businesses similar to Essity UK Ltd, which have strong financial credentials and a robust product catalogue, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. Companies specialising in healthcare supplies, particularly those focusing on stability and reliability in supply chains, can look to expand their client base by engaging with large-scale public sector clients like the East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

## Notice

Products will continue to be purchased via the NHS Supplychain catalogue, but this contracts finder is to highlight that a Single Source Supplier Contract has been awarded with Essity for the supply of Tork Product, following a financial desktop application. This contract has been awarded on the basis of Most Economical Advantageous Tender. Additional information: The items will be purchased through the NHS Supplychain (NHSSC), using codes within
