## Summary

The procurement process involves the NHS South West - Acutes, looking to award a contract for the "Provision of Wig Services." This initiative falls under the healthcare industry, specifically targeting the fitting of wigs for approximately 950 patients within Haematology, Oncology, and Dermatology in the Bristol area. The open procurement method was employed for this tender, which concluded on 22 December 2017, with the contract period commencing from 2 February 2018 and extending until 1 February 2020. The total contract value is £170,000, with a minimum value of £160,000, covering services in the BS1 2NT postcode and surrounding regions.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and beauty sector, particularly those specialised in wig provision and fitting services. Companies that can offer comprehensive and personalised wig fitting solutions, preferably with experience catering to healthcare clients, would be particularly well-placed to compete for this contract. The requirement for onsite services at local salons could also attract businesses that operate in or near the BNSSG area, enhancing accessibility for patients. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have the potential to fill this gap effectively, given the emphasis on tailored patient care.

## Notice

University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country, and the major teaching and research centre for the South West of England. The Trust provide general medical and emergency services to the local population of Central and South Bristol, and a broad range of specialist services across a region that extends from Cornwall to Gloucestershire, into South Wales and beyond. Tenders are invited for the Provision of Wigs contract, which involves provision of a comprehensive wig fitting service for circa 450 Haematology and Oncology and 500 Dermatology patients per annum. The service currently provides a wig consultant 2.5 days per week, split across Haematology and Oncology (2 days) and Dermatology (0.5 days), with the majority of appointments as outpatients, and the occasional inpatient appointment. The service is also looking for an at-salon solution in the BNSSG area that allows the patients access to a wig cutting service onsite at an arranged appointment or at a salon in the BNSSG area. (This could include a concession at a local salon) In addition, the service provides wig-fitting support to Dermatology patients at Weston General Hospital, an NHS district general hospital in the town of Weston-Super-Mare, North Somerset, England operated by Weston Area Health NHS Trust. Please note the Wig fitting service operated by Bristol Royal Hospital for Children is a separate service and is not included in this contract.
