## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured cryopreserved allograft skin products known as Cryoskin for Swansea Bay University Health Board’s Burns Centre. The goods are medical consumables used in treating burn injuries. The allograft provides temporary wound coverage to promote healing, reduce pain and minimise infection risk. The requirement includes supplying, storing and delivering clinically approved Cryoskin products for clinical care in the Burns Centre. Delivery is associated with Swansea Bay University Health Board in the Port Talbot area. The procurement covers the specialised needs of a tertiary Burns Centre and requires products and supply arrangements that meet relevant regulatory, safety, quality and clinical governance standards.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 22 July 2026 through a below-threshold direct award without competition. It comprised one lot, marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Hospital Innovations Limited was awarded the contract for £303,897.72 gross, with the same amount recorded as the net value. The award is active and covers the period from 28 August 2026 to 30 June 2029. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 28 August 2026. The opportunity was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no competitive scoring basis or bid evaluation weighting is stated. The requirement is categorised as medical consumables.

This award indicates established demand for specialist human-tissue allografts within NHS Wales burn-care services. A credible future supplier would need proven experience supplying human tissue allografts, clinically approved Cryoskin or equivalent products, and a reliable supply chain covering storage and delivery. It would also need to demonstrate compliance with relevant regulatory, safety and quality standards, together with robust clinical governance arrangements. The requirement favours suppliers able to support the specialised needs of a tertiary Burns Centre and maintain dependable availability for patient treatment. An SME was considered suitable for the single-lot requirement, suggesting that specialist suppliers with the necessary approvals, operational capacity and clinical-sector experience could be well placed when this type of requirement is next reviewed.
