## Summary

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust bought Christmas hampers for its staff and patients for Christmas 2026. This is a goods supply requirement, classified as presents and rewards (CPV 18530000). The description says the purchase was funded by the MSE Charity Fund. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust; its address is in Basildon. The awarded supplier is based in Leicester. The requirement concerns supplying hampers for both staff and patients, rather than a service or works project. The procurement is recorded as one lot and the award covers the same hamper requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Personal Care Packs Ltd. The award date and contract signature date were 5 October 2026. The contract runs from 10 October to 21 December 2026. Its value is £23,475 excluding VAT and £28,170 including VAT. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. Two bids were received, both reached the final stage and both were from SMEs. The process had one lot. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates demand for seasonal gift hampers serving both staff and patients, funded through the MSE Charity Fund. A credible competitor would need to source or assemble suitable hampers and manage delivery to meet a time-bound Christmas requirement. The successful supplier was a large business, while both final-stage bidders were SMEs, showing that the competition attracted smaller firms as well as larger suppliers. The limited-competition route means suppliers should be able to meet the buyer’s requirements and participate effectively when approached. The award gives a useful indication of the type and scale of purchase, but does not establish detailed product specifications or delivery arrangements.
