Tender description

To replace the existing fabric privacy curtains currently in use across clinical areas. These curtains are outdated, worn, and operationally inefficient, and present ongoing infection prevention and control (IPC), patient experience and compliance risks. CQC and PLACE feedback has repeatedly highlighted issues relating to curtain condition, cleanliness, aesthetics, and the absence of clear date labelling, which limits assurance around compliance with curtain change policies.
