Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as National Services Scotland (NSS), is managing the procurement of dental products for the NHSScotland Childsmile programme. This process is categorised under the goods industry, specifically toothbrushes (CPV: 33711710). The procurement process is currently in the 'tender' stage with an end date for submissions on 20th December 2024. Interested suppliers should note the inclusion of various dental items such as Dental Packs, Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, and Drinking cups, with associated information leaflets to be delivered within Scotland (UKM). The framework agreement has a duration of 36 months with an option for a 24-month extension and a fixed annual budget of £549,000 plus VAT.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in dental products, particularly SMEs, to secure a high-value, long-term contract with the NHSScotland. Companies that can deliver high-quality, sustainable dental products at competitive prices are well-positioned to compete. The procurement method is open and involves electronic submissions. Additionally, the requirement for community benefits through the NHS Scotland’s Community Benefits Gateway encourages suppliers to engage with third sector community organisations, thereby fostering business growth and stronger community relations. Businesses should leverage their expertise in quality dental products and their commitment to community benefits to participate effectively in this procurement process.
