Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is the contracting authority for the procurement process titled "Anti-embolism Stockings, Compression Devices & Accessories & Lymphoedema Products." This procurement, classified under the industry category of medical consumables, focuses on acquiring specialised hosiery for preventing and managing venous disorders.

The procurement follows the European legal framework and represents the award stage, originally signed on 11th November 2019, for a contract value of £10,616,220 with a duration of 360 days.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in medical supplies, particularly those specialising in compression therapy products. The inclusion of established suppliers such as H&R Healthcare Ltd, Urgo Limited, and BSN Medical indicates that the market is competitive, yet rewarding for companies able to provide high-quality medical consumables. The procurement process, designed to ensure consistent supply for NHS Scotland, could particularly benefit large-scale suppliers with substantial production capacities, aiming to expand their footprint within the UK healthcare sector.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Anti-embolism Stockings, Compression Devices & Accessories & Lymphoedema Products

Provision of Anti Embolism Stockings (Non Mechanical) for NHSS. Compression stockings are a specialised hosiery designed to help prevent the occurrence of, and guard against further progression of, venous disorders such as edema, phlebitis and thrombosis. Compression stockings are elastic garments worn around the leg, compressing the limb. This reduces the diameter of distended veins and increases venous blood flow velocity and valve effectiveness. Compression therapy helps decrease venous pressure, prevents venous stasis and impairments of venous walls, and relieves heavy and aching legs.
