The Trust is providing advance notice of its intention to commence a competitive procurement under the Procurement Act 2023 for the supply of lymphoedema garments and associated products to support patients with chronic oedema and lymphoedema.
The procurement will support an estimated cohort of approximately 5,500 patients per year and is critical to maintaining continuity of care within established clinical pathways.
The contract will cover the provision of clinically appropriate compression therapy products, ensuring timely patient access and supporting the reduction of clinical risks associated with unmanaged lymphoedema (for example avoidable cellulitis admissions).
The scope of supply is expected to include, but is not limited to:
- Flat-knit and circular-knit compression garments
- Off-the-shelf and made-to-measure garments
- Compression garments for upper and lower limbs
- Multiple material types and compression classes (Class 1–4)
- Bandaging systems
- Accessories, including donning and doffing aids
The Trust requires a comprehensive product range capable of meeting diverse and complex patient needs, including bespoke made-to-measure solutions.
The successful Provider will provide:
- Product samples for clinical evaluation where required
- Access to appropriate measurement tools
- A digital ordering platform to support efficient prescribing and ordering
- Product training and clinical advice for Trust staff
- An efficient returns and remakes policy
The Trust anticipates publishing a Tender Notice within the next 2-3 months. This Planned Procurement Notice is issued to provide the market with early visibility and to support supplier readiness.
