Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is conducting a public procurement for cleaning products under the project titled "NP71324 Cleaning Products". The procurement process has reached the award stage as of May 2025, focusing on the supply of cleaning goods across NHS Scotland's estate. This open procedure was carried out to establish a framework agreement for cleaning consumables and disinfectant products. The procurement aimed to cover all NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards, and Scottish Hospices under the NHS (Scotland) Act 1978. The procurement involves several lots including consumables, various types of mops and cleaning equipment, along with disinfectant tablets. Notably, the procurement stage is complete, and contracts have been awarded as of April 2025, involving suppliers like Arrow County Supplies Ltd and Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene Supplies, with delivery centred around the Scottish region (UKM).

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers in the cleaning products industry, particularly those geared towards healthcare and institutional cleaning environments. Businesses that can supply large quantities of high-quality cleaning consumables and equipment would find this framework beneficial to bolster their market presence. SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) like Arrow County Supplies have successfully participated, highlighting that well-prepared smaller firms can effectively compete alongside larger entities like Bunzl Cleaning and Hygiene Supplies. The framework's duration of up to 48 months, including extensions, offers a stable business engagement, allowing suppliers to plan long-term strategies and enhance their service offerings to public healthcare institutions, thereby contributing to sustainable business growth through a steady and reputable channel.
