Procurement Guidance and Update – May 2021:
All departments should have suitable PPE stock to ensure safe provision of care, in line with the national guidance. There are not expected to be any PPE supply issues.
Where your department needs PPE, please raise a requisition (ideally once a week) for PPE. These items will be delivered to you within 48hrs. In Oracle (pictured below) please type the product code and it will automatically bring up the items to select. Please select your estimated quantity required for one week and we will deliver the items.
If you are currently receiving the “PPE Top Up Service” then you will continue to get the PPE through this.
All PPE is to be kept secure but readily available in each department for staff that need them. Please do not attempt to collect any PPE from the PPE store, unless it is a genuine emergency.
The team are working hard to cover all the PPE needs for the Trust. Since mid-March the team have taken delivery of and distributed over 12 million items of PPE.
We are still running a PPE 9am-5pm cover, Monday to Friday from Whiston Hospital.
Orders for PPE should now be placed via Shop on SBS/Oracle. Simply enter the item code listed below into Shop search and select quantity required. Orders should be placed in quantities that reflect the Unit of Measure. For example, if you order 1x STHKIIR, you will receive a box of 50 masks; if you order 2x STHKVISORS, you will receive 2 visors, etc.:

Please ensure this is the only way that PPE is ordered and do not visit the PPE store to collect items – they will be delivered to you.
We provide a “PPE Top Up Service” to many clinical departments. If your department does not receive this and you feel it needs adding (i.e. you are using lots of PPE), or you do get this service and feel your weekly delivery levels need adjusting then please contact purchasing@sthk.nhs.uk and title your email “PPE weekly stock”.
Product updates:
- All alcohol wall gels need to be ordered by your usual process now (ie Materials Management or via Oracle).
- Wipes need to be ordered via Oracle – the product codes and availability change on a daily basis, so before ordering please email purchasing@sthk.nhs.uk and title your email “Wipes”.
If you have any questions, please email purchasing@sthk.nhs.uk
