Summary of the contracting process

NHS National Services Scotland, through its procurement service, established a framework for supplying and delivering patient monitors, anaesthetic machines, ventilators and hospital-standard ECG equipment across Scotland. The intended users are NHS Scotland health boards, special health boards, other NHS organisations, Integrated Joint Boards and Scottish hospices. The requirement covers patient-monitoring systems, anaesthetic equipment, ventilators and medical equipment. Anaesthetic machine suppliers must support theatre and induction-room requirements. Ventilator supply covers intensive care, neonatal and infant, transport, non-invasive, standalone hospital, induction-room and MRI-compatible equipment. ECG suppliers must provide hospital-standard equipment. Delivery and associated activity are across Scotland, supporting healthcare facilities and services throughout the country.

This open procedure has completed and resulted in an awarded framework. The framework contract was signed on 5 March 2024 for £40,000,000, with a duration of 1,440 days. Separate contracts were signed on 26 March 2024 for patient monitoring at £11,000,000, anaesthetic machines at £2,044,000, ventilators at £1,000,000 and ECG equipment at £1,600,000. Multiple suppliers were appointed across the requirements, including AC Cossor & Son, Air Liquide Healthcare, Aquilant, Draeger, EDAN Medical, GE Healthcare, Getinge, Mindray, Philips, ZOLL Medical and others. Evaluation allocated 50% to cost, 25% to clinical and technical quality, 15% to service and support, and 10% to sustainability. Fifteen, six, 17 and seven bids were recorded respectively for the four requirements.

This procurement demonstrates recurring Scottish NHS demand for specialist patient-monitoring, anaesthetic, ventilator and ECG equipment through a multi-supplier framework. Credible competitors would need medical-device supply capability and the capacity to serve NHS Scotland health boards, other NHS organisations, Integrated Joint Boards and hospices across Scotland. Anaesthetic and ventilator suppliers need a full project-management service covering pre-installation assessment, supply, delivery, assembly, final placement, installation and handover. ECG suppliers need to manage supply, final placement and handover. The framework also requires suppliers to support community benefits, report delivered outcomes and participate in ongoing contract and supplier development. A subcontracting clause applies, so businesses with reliable delivery, installation, technical support and partnership capability may be well placed when comparable demand returns.
