Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is managing a procurement process for hygiene paper products, encompassing items such as toilet paper, handkerchiefs, hand towels, and serviettes. Initiating within the framework of NHS Scotland and including all relevant health boards along with special boards, this procurement is categorized under goods. The procurement employs an open procedure and covers a value estimated at £93,581,000. The current status of this process is active, with the tender closing on 18th December 2024. The intended contract period is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2029, with possible extensions of two periods of 24 months each. The delivery is expected within the UKM region, specifically targeting healthcare institutions under the NHS Scotland jurisdiction.

Businesses catering to hygiene and sanitary products, specifically those offering toilet paper and hand towels compatible with Kimberly-Clark dispensers, stand to gain from this contract. The opportunity is particularly suited for manufacturers and distributors with a robust supply chain in the healthcare sector. This tender not only offers a substantial contract but also a platform for companies to deliver community benefits in Scotland, as detailed engagement with NHS’s Community Benefits Gateway is encouraged. Suppliers capable of providing high-quality products while maintaining competitive costs will have an advantage, as the award criteria heavily weigh both factors. This offers a significant opportunity for businesses to expand their market share in the public sector, ensuring long-term commercial relationships and stable income streams through participation in NHS Scotland's procurement activities.
