Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, within NHS National Services Scotland, established a multi-supplier framework for NHS Scotland and participating public authorities. It covers condoms, lubricants, pre-bagged sexual health kits, diagnostic testing products and related sexual health goods. The diagnostic range includes pregnancy, HIV and syphilis tests, while the kits may combine condoms, lubricants and other agreed products ready for distribution. The framework also covers added-value support such as educational resources, awareness campaigns, training materials, patient information and health-promotion initiatives, alongside innovative products, technology, packaging, environmental and service improvements. The requirement supports sexual health services and public health objectives relating to sexually transmitted infections, HIV transmission and unplanned pregnancy. Delivery is across Scotland.

This procurement has reached award stage. Lot 1, covering loose condoms and lubricants, was awarded to Pasante Healthcare and Leeds Trading Company T/A LTC Healthcare; the associated active contract was signed on 21 October 2021 for £2,370,000. The wider procurement was an open procedure for a multi-supplier framework, with suppliers submitting electronically in English. Lots 1 and 2 were evaluated together as a ranked requirement, with price weighted at 60%, technical quality at 30% and sustainability at 10%; Lot 3 was independently evaluated and unranked. Suppliers awarded Lots 1, 2 or 3 automatically received places on the unscored Lots 4 and 5. Each substantive supply lot had a 1,080-day contract period and could be extended by up to 12 months.

This outcome shows established NHS Scotland demand for regulated sexual-health consumables supplied through a multi-supplier framework. A credible future competitor would need dependable manufacturing, assembly, packaging and nationwide distribution capability for condoms, lubricants, pre-bagged kits or diagnostic tests, depending on its specialism. Products must comply with UK legislation, regulations and relevant standards; medical devices must be registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency where required and carry the appropriate conformity marking. Suppliers also need robust quality management, product traceability, continuity-of-supply arrangements and capacity to manage recalls, safety notices, complaints and disruption. Strong technical and sustainability evidence matters, as does the ability to support NHS reporting, contract reviews, Fair Work First, ethical trading, community benefits and modern-slavery prevention.
