## Summary

Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the lease rental of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) Centrego equipment and purchase of ancillary products. The procurement is within the healthcare industry category, situated at Highbury Hospital, Nottingham. The procurement process, initiated as a direct award, is now in the award stage with the contract commencing on 1st July 2025 and ending on 31st May 2028, with potential extensions.

### Procurement Information

The Trust has been trailing the Centrego Flow 40Ltr machine to produce HOCL for at least the last 12 months, which at the time was a novel good/service for the NHS. HOCL Health was approached as they were named as distributor of the Centrego system. Centrego is mentioned on the GB95 Article Directive List that is part of the Health Safety Executive. Existing supplier supplied the original goods and wishes to buy additional machines, with the same compatibility with existing provisions. Using a different machine may result in redesign and modification within our Facilities team which may result in significant costs to the organisation.
