## Summary

The procurement process initiated by North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, collaborating with East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, focuses on the "Provision of a Containment Product Service". This initiative aims to provide an integrated containment product service across Cumbria and Lancashire, servicing individuals from age 5 to adulthood. The procurement stage is currently at the tender update phase, following the initial tender phase begun on 5th January 2026. The tender is being conducted using an open procedure targeting the delivery and provision of continence products directly to service users in various healthcare settings throughout the UKD region. Important dates include the tender period ending on 11th February 2026, with the award expected by 16th March 2026, and the contract starting on 1st May 2026 for a period of up to 10 years, including possible extensions.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth to businesses specializing in home delivery and distribution of personal care products, especially those that meet high standards of quality and service, which are crucial given the weighted evaluation criteria. SMEs are encouraged to participate, making it particularly attractive for local small to medium enterprises with capability in healthcare logistics and product provision. With gross contract values amounting to over £22 million, companies with expertise in delivering incontinence and personal care products, along with innovative distribution methods, are well-suited to this opportunity, especially given the contract's long duration and the potential for extension.
