    "description": "This prior information notice is intended to provide potential bidders with detailed information around the products required for the procurement process. This information is contained in the embedded .xls document within this notice. Important information:- 1. As the current NHS dispenser install base (in excess of 400,000 in total) is made up primarily of Kimberly Clark it is essential that potential bidders have compatible consumable products to fit this dispenser network. 2. As the proposed procurement will be put in place for up to 4 years from award the ability for suppliers to provide dispensing systems will also be a mandatory condition of participation - products may be required due to new build as well as general maintenance etc. 3. Potential bidders whose compatible consumables to Kimberly Clark do not fit their own dispensing systems will be afforded the opportunity to provide details of their equivalent products to their matching dispensing systems (therefore as a closest equivalent). 4. For the avoidance of doubt - compatible consumables MUST be available for the duration of the procurement. ** Important Note ** The embedded .xls MUST be completed and returned to the following email address by 12:00hrs on Wed 9th February 2022 nss.pcfndccategory@nhs.scot with the subject title NP50821 PIN Return (Supplier Name).
