## Summary

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the supply of Novosorb Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix (BTM) to Movianto UK Limited. The procurement process was conducted using a limited procurement method with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract's total value is £200,000, and it was signed on 5th April 2024. The delivery address is The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHSFT - Freeman Hospital in UKC22.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the healthcare industry, specifically in the goods category related to dressings. Companies that specialise in medical supplies or distribution services would be well-suited to compete. The contract aims to supply a unique product that offers clinical benefits for burns patients, leading to earlier engagement in physiotherapy, less pain, and better long-term scar quality. The procurement process favours Movianto UK Limited as the sole supplier for this specific product due to technical reasons, indicating a niche market for specialised medical products.

### Procurement Information

Polynovo is the only supplier of this product and this is the only synthetic dermal template available worldwide. The advantage above other dermal matrices, such as Integra, is that this product is very resistant to infection. Therefore low risk of it getting infected and needing removal. I have not lost a single piece of BTM from infection.

The clinical advantage for burns patients is earlier engagement in physiotherapy, less pain (and painkillers) and better long term scar quality. If the scars are better longterm, they need less scar therapy, less reconstruction and have better quality of life. Other teams are using this for complex wound reconstruction as an alternative to free flap surgery, which can take up to 12 hours. This takes significantly less time to apply, saving theatre time and allowing patients to be discharged earlier from hospital, with less invasive surgery.
