Disposable Cubicle, Shower and Window Curtains

This framework starts on 4 October 2021, runs for 48 months and ends on 3 October 2025. This includes a 24 month extension.
​
Overview

Disposable cubicle and shower curtains are used throughout the hospitals, as an alternative to textile curtains for patient privacy.

Benefits include:

• Easy to hang and change
• Date labels to show when a curtain needs to be replaced
• Ideal for acute areas requiring quick curtain changes
• All of the curtains on our framework have passed BS 5867-2:2008 Type B or C flammability requirements.

The following five colours are available in varying and bespoke sizes and patterns:

• Beige
• Blue
• Green
• Pink
• White.

If you do not see the size or colour you require on the catalogue, please contact your NHS Supply Chain Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) who can request bespoke sizing for you.

Disposable cubicle and shower curtains do not have to be laundered like textile curtains they are simply replaced. We are pleased to offer trusts a services element to our framework that covers fitting and recycling, great for trusts working towards net-zero targets. Use our online enquiry form to submit a request for this service.

There are two lots on this new framework:

• Lot 1- Non Anti-Microbial Treated Curtains
• Lot 2- Anti-Microbial Treated Curtains

Savings opportunities

National Pricing Matrix (NPM) – allows you to benefit from a discounted pricing structure from a supplier in return for either a value or volume commitment, for an agreed time period.

The framework will provide saving opportunities via price ranking and product switching, please speak to your NHS Supply Chain Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) for further details on saving opportunities.
