## Summary

The North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process titled "Continuation of Continence contract," which focuses on the home delivery of incontinence products. Classified under the services category, this procurement is relevant to the healthcare industry in the North West of England (region UKD). The process reached the 'Award' stage on 5th September 2025, and the existing contract has been extended until 30th April 2026. The procurement method used was limited, an award procedure without prior publication, under the impetus to align with future joint procurement involving regional healthcare trusts.

This tender provides a business growth opportunity for companies capable of supplying personal care products, particularly those specialising in healthcare services. The extension of the contract offers a temporary window for current suppliers to adjust and prepare for the upcoming mini-competition planned for Q1 FY26/27 under the SBS Framework SBS10015. Businesses such as Abena UK Limited, the current supplier, which have a strong presence and network within the UK healthcare system, are well-suited to benefit from this continued service demand, offering strategic partnership prospects within the healthcare sector.
