This tender, titled "External Breast Prosthesis and Lingerie," falls under the goods category, with a specific classification for external breast prostheses. Interested parties should note that the engagement phase is set to seek market feedback with a deadline for expressions of interest on 1st September 2021. Further meetings with suppliers via MS Teams are anticipated to take place in mid-October 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical supply and health services sectors, particularly those focused on women's health and post-surgical support products. Companies that have experience in manufacturing or supplying medical garments or prosthetic devices, and are adept at collaborative approaches that prioritise both clinical and patient-centric outcomes, will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging proactively with the NHS Wales project team will be beneficial for suppliers aiming to align with the evolving standards of care in this area. ## Notice Provision and Fitting of external breast prosthesis and lingerie worn post-mastectomy ### Lot Information Lot 1 NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services (NWSSP) are publishing this Prior Information Notice on behalf of the NHS Wales Cancer Network. A Project Team has been established to focus on the provision of external post-operative breast prosthesis and lingerie across NHS Wales. Provision as regarded by the Project Team will relate to the supply of and / or associated fitting of the prosthesis and lingerie. The project team are compiling a Recommendations Paper with the aim of informing a new Standard of Care for this pathway. In addition to researching the provision of external breast prosthesis outside of NHS Wales, the aim of the project team will be to review - Current product / service provision within patient care pathways in each Health Board, - Feedback from patients themselves - Market engagement A patient centric "value-based" approach identifies the need for both Clinical and Patient input with clear outcomes being determined by quality of provision rather than just price. To this end, the project will be supported by the NHS Wales Value Based Care Team. The Project Team recognises the importance of establishing pro-active dialogue with current and potential Suppliers at this stage of the project. Further market engagement may be conducted at a later date to inform the procurement strategy which will align with this project.
