Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire, in partnership with NHS National Services Scotland, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the provision of medical instrument sterilisation services, with an estimated contract value of £25 million. The procurement falls under the "Cleaning and sanitation services" industry category and aims to engage service providers in the UK, specifically within regions UKM and UKM8. The process, which adheres to the European Union's legal framework as per Directive 2014/24/EU, is expected to release an Invitation to Tender by 9th December 2025. The buying organisation, NHS Lanarkshire, is situated in Bothwell, United Kingdom, and is actively seeking feedback from the market to refine their procurement approach.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in sterilisation and sanitary services, particularly those with experience in healthcare settings. Companies equipped to handle large-scale operations and intending to expand their footprint within the medical services sector will find this process particularly beneficial. Regional businesses in the UK might have an advantage due to logistical considerations and familiarity with local healthcare regulations. Engaging early in the process offers potential bidders a better understanding of specific requirements, positioning them favourably for future tender submissions.
