Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland), pertains to the supply of hand sanitiser under the title "NSSCOVID-19 -260a Hand Sanitiser." This contract falls within the goods category, specifically focusing on hand sanitiser for the NHS Scotland, located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a limited tender, enabling the direct award without prior publication of a call for competition due to extreme urgency related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The award was signed on 14 May 2020, and although the contract is marked as complete, a review may still be sought through the courts if any party believes there has been a breach of duty under relevant regulations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of sanitation products, particularly those specialising in hand sanitiser manufacturing. With the heightened demand driven by the ongoing public health crisis, suppliers with the capacity to deliver high-quality sanitiser products at competitive prices would be well-suited to compete. As a directly awarded contract, it demonstrates a streamlined process that prioritises urgent needs within the health sector, making it critical for reactive businesses to engage with NHS procurement processes effectively.
