## Summary

The procurement process titled "The supply of Nasal Cannula & Oxygen Masks for Pandemic Preparedness 24/25" was conducted by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting as part of the Crown through the UK Health Security Agency. The procurement pertains to the medical consumables category, specifically for pandemic preparedness in the UK, and it covers the period across the 2024/2025 financial year. This process, now in the award stage, was conducted using a limited procurement method, without prior publication of a call for competition. This approach was justified as a necessary measure to replenish expiring stock. The award was made to Flexicare Medical Limited and the contract was signed on 22nd September 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those capable of fulfilling stringent health sector requirements. Companies engaged in manufacturing or supplying medical consumables, such as nasal cannulae and oxygen masks, may find such contracts advantageous for growth, especially if they can offer competitive prices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Flexicare Medical Limited demonstrate that companies of this scale can successfully compete under framework agreements like those organised by the NHS Supply Chain. Those with established frameworks or those seeking to expand their footprint in public sector procurement will find similar opportunities beneficial.
