Advance Notice: PRICE INCREASE with effect from 29 May 2025.

Dear customers 

Please note: upcoming change to our pricing structure.

Due to the ongoing inflationary pressures affecting the cost of goods and services, we will be implementing a price increase on all orders fulfilled from and including the 29th of May 2025. This decision has not been made lightly, and we have made every effort to minimise the impact on our customers. This adjustment is necessary to continue providing the high-quality products and services you have come to expect from us. The new pricing will help us to maintain our standards. We will keep you updated on any more updates to our pricing in the future. 

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please do not hesitate to contact us at smpu@wales.nhs.uk.  

Many Thanks, 

SMPU Team
