Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully awarded a contract for the supply and fitting of wigs and accessories to NHS Scotland, with the awarding stage completed as of 14th October 2025. Acting on behalf of NHS Scotland Health Boards and related entities, this procurement falls under the 'goods' category and is part of a framework agreement with an open procedure. Covering a broad geographical location within the UKM region, this contract is set to run for a duration of 36 months with an option of a 12-month extension. The contract was signed on 6th October 2025, involving a £12.4 million investment to be managed via an open procurement method, ensuring comprehensive health board coverage and sustainability. The tender process was competitive, envisaging multiple suppliers, under both open and capped pricing structures.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the wig manufacturing and fitting industry, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the active participation and winning of six SMEs including Aderans UK Ltd and HOLMS GREENOCK Ltd, among others. The open procedure allowed for an unranked award to multiple suppliers, thereby expanding opportunities for various businesses to participate and benefit. Organisations that provide high-quality products at competitive pricing and those who can ensure widespread health board coverage while demonstrating commitment to sustainability, are well-suited for such procurement processes. Furthermore, with the inclusion of community benefit provisions, businesses can also contribute to social and economic benefits within the NHS Scotland framework, fostering long-term business growth and community engagement.
