Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), recently completed a tender process for the short-term hire of mechanical handling equipment to serve the Titan Warehouse located at Eurocentral, Motherwell. This procurement falls under the goods category and is classified as mechanical handling equipment (CPV code: 42418500). The direct award, amounting to £364,000, is a response to urgent demands arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, executed under regulation 33(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in mechanical handling equipment, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide swift and effective services. Companies that can meet the immediate needs for short-term assets and have the capacity to extend their service provision are particularly well-positioned to compete. Given the ongoing context of increased demand from the health sector, businesses entering the market should consider their capability to contribute to urgent procurement solutions and maintain flexibility in their operations.

Procurement Information

Due to the limited availability in the market of all warehouse mechanical handling equipment required and as a procurement process is underway, a direct award under regulation 33(1) (C) is proposed. The procurement process to put in place a long term contract in this area has been delayed due the requirement to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic and is for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority in line with Regulation 33(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
