## Summary

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured cryopreserved human skin allografts, branded Cryoskin, for the Burns Centre’s treatment of burn injuries. The requirement covers the supply, storage and delivery of clinically approved products. Cryoskin is used as temporary wound coverage to promote healing, reduce pain and minimise infection risk for burn patients. NHS Wales is the procuring entity, with Swansea Bay University Health Board as the buyer. This is a specialist medical consumables supply requirement serving tertiary burns care. The work is therefore relevant to tissue-allograft manufacturers, specialist medical suppliers and distributors with the ability to manage regulated human tissue products and dependable delivery into a clinical environment. The procurement comprised one completed lot.

The procurement has reached the awarded and complete stage following a below-threshold direct award without competition. Hospital Innovations Limited was selected as supplier for the single lot. The award value is £227,923.29 excluding VAT, or £273,507.95 including VAT. The award was recorded on 2 September 2026. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 30 June 2029, with signature scheduled for 3 September 2026. The award record is marked pending, while the tender and lot are marked complete. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competitive tendering. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award included a subsequent amendment relating to contract value.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for cryopreserved skin allografts to support specialist burns treatment. A credible future supplier would need proven experience supplying human tissue allografts and the operational capacity to provide consistent, reliable supply to a tertiary Burns Centre. Capability in storage and controlled delivery of clinically approved products would be central, alongside compliance with relevant regulatory, safety and quality standards. Suppliers would also need to work within clinical governance arrangements and understand the specialised requirements of burn-injury care. The opportunity is suitable for an SME, as shown by the buyer’s lot-level suitability assessment. Businesses in this market can use the requirement as a clear reference point for the product, service model and specialist assurance expected by Swansea Bay University Health Board.
