SMTL, in a joint bid with NWSSP Procurement Services and Lymphoedema Network Wales,  are delighted to have won the "GO Procurement Innovation or Initiative of the Year Award" as part of the Government Opportunities (GO) Excellence in Public Procurement Awards.

The project covered the procurement of lymphoedema compression garments for the Welsh NHS, and demonstrated joint working between Welsh Government, clinicians, the Lymphodema Newtwork Wales group under Melanie Thomas, Procurement Services, and SMTL, providing a range of products which met the clinical and technical requirements of the Welsh NHS, whilst also reducing variation, delivering cost savings, and complying with the Prudent Healthcare agenda of Welsh Government.

Our colleagues in Procurement were present on the night to receive the award.
