This tender is currently in the planning stage and falls under the services category, specifically classified as storage and warehousing services. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender title is "SSP-FTS-61450 - Provision of Commercial Storage and Distribution Services for Medical Consumables." This notice was published on 13th April 2026, and interested parties should note the end date for the tender period is 27th May 2026. The contract covers several regions across Wales, including Denbigh, Bridgend, and Newport, ensuring the maintenance of strategic stockholding for public health emergency preparedness. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in logistics, warehousing, and supply chain management, particularly those specialising in healthcare supplies. With a gross value of £880,800, the contract is divided into three lots covering North, South-East, and South-West Wales, offering multiple entry points for suitable businesses. The procurement is open to SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), with an emphasis on technical quality and competitive pricing. Companies that excel in stock management, rapid deployment, and scalability will find this opportunity advantageous as it promises ongoing collaboration potential through contract renewals based on performance. This procurement initiative highlights the ongoing commitment to resilience and continuity of supply in the healthcare sector, providing a stable and potentially lucrative opportunity for suitable service providers. ## Notice NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), on behalf of NHS Wales organisations, requires the provision of a fully managed commercial storage and distribution service to support the storage, management and deployment of medical consumables, including pandemic preparedness stock such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The requirement originates from the need to maintain appropriate levels of strategic stockholding across Wales to ensure preparedness, resilience and continuity of supply in response to public health emergencies. Whilst demand has reduced from peak pandemic levels, Welsh Government guidance continues to require the maintenance of resilience stock to support future emergency response capability. NWSSP currently operates core warehousing infrastructure across Denbigh, Bridgend and Newport. These facilities operate under a structured stock management model aligned to forecast usage but have limited capacity to accommodate additional volumes. As a result, commercial storage provision remains essential to support ongoing resilience requirements. This procurement seeks to establish a compliant, resilient and scalable service that ensures continuity of supply, rapid deployment capability and effective stock management across Wales. ### Lot Information Lot 1 - North Wales Provision of fully managed commercial storage and distribution services for medical consumables within North Wales.
