Summary of the contracting process

National Services Scotland, through National Procurement, bought medical ward equipment for NHS Scotland health boards and other eligible NHS bodies, including Scottish hospices. The requirement covers examination couches and a broad range of ward equipment, including trolleys and associated products. Suppliers must be able to provide the full product range within their lot to health-board sites throughout Scotland, including mainland and island locations. The arrangement is a multi-supplier framework, intended for use by participating NHS organisations across Scotland. The equipment supports hospital ward and examination activity; the buyer is procuring on behalf of itself and the wider group of NHS purchasing entities. Deliveries are to NHS Scotland sites across the country.

The procurement has been awarded and contracts are active. It used an open procedure to establish a multi-supplier framework, with a four-year term and no renewal option. The contract was signed on 19 November 2025. The amended estimated framework value is £1,208,000 for Lot 1, examination couches, and £488,000 for Lot 2, ward equipment including trolleys; these are anticipated values over the framework term, not guaranteed spend. Lot 1 suppliers include Seers Medical, Bristol Maid, Eureka Physiocare, Medstor and Langstane businesses. Lot 2 was awarded to Bristol Maid, Medstor and Langstane Press. Evaluation weighted price at 70%, service at 20% and sustainability at 10%. The tender submission deadline was 10 October 2025.

This award shows demand for suppliers able to serve NHS Scotland’s multiple purchasing bodies and deliver medical ward equipment across mainland and island sites. Credible competitors need a broad, dependable catalogue: the buyer requires the complete range within each lot, covering examination couches or ward equipment such as trolleys and associated products. The multi-supplier framework route indicates that suppliers can compete alongside other providers rather than relying on a sole-supplier arrangement. The evaluation placed most weight on price, while service and sustainability also contributed, so a competitive offer needs cost-effective products, reliable service provision and a demonstrable sustainability case. The framework’s national reach and multi-year scale will suit businesses with the product breadth, operational capacity and distribution arrangements to fulfil orders for NHS organisations throughout Scotland.
