## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured continence products for NHS health boards and trusts across Wales. The requirement covers the supply of incontinence products and related kits, classified under CPV 33141621. This is a goods contract intended to maintain continuity of continence-product supply across the Welsh health service. The procurement was arranged as an interim supply while a full competitive tender was underway.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ontex Healthcare UK Limited; the contract is active and was signed on 1 September 2026. The recorded contract value is £8,483,314. The buyer used a direct award without prior publication of a competition, citing extreme urgency: the deadline to extend the previous contract had been missed while a longer-term competitive process was in progress. The interim arrangement was described as an initial six-month period, with an option to extend by a further six months if required. The procurement comprised one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are active. Price was the stated award criterion.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future continence-products requirements, the award indicates demand for a broad, Wales-wide supply serving NHS health boards and trusts, with continuity of supply an important operational concern. The selected supplier was an established, large healthcare supplier; the interim award followed an urgent procurement route because the previous contract’s extension deadline had been missed and a full competition was already under way. Price was the stated evaluation basis. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate capacity to supply the required product range reliably across Wales, support uninterrupted service to multiple health organisations and offer competitive pricing. The arrangement also shows that the buyer may use a short-term direct award to bridge a gap in supply while a longer-term procurement is completed.

### Procurement Information

To maintain compliance and ensure continuity of supply, a short-term direct award has been implemented with the incumbent supplier for an initial period of six months, with an option to extend for a further six months if required. This arrangement has been put in place as the deadline for extending the existing contract was missed while a full competitive tender process is currently underway. The direct award provides a compliant interim solution, ensuring there is no disruption to service provision whilst allowing sufficient time for the ongoing procurement exercise to be completed and a longer-term contract to be awarded.
