Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire procured custom medical consumable packs for use across its hospitals. The requirement covered three specialist areas: custom theatre packs for ENT, general, gynaecological, orthopaedic, robotic and vascular surgery; custom radiology packs for biopsy and angiography procedures; and custom cardiac catheterisation laboratory packs for pacing, cardiac and central venous catheter procedures. Deliveries were to University Hospital Wishaw, University Hospital Hairmyres and University Hospital Monklands. The procurement was for goods, specifically medical kits and other medical consumables. NHS Lanarkshire acted as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement therefore suits manufacturers, pack configurators and specialist medical consumables suppliers able to design, assemble and supply procedure-specific packs for hospital clinical departments.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contracts are active. It used an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English. The tender deadline was 6 November 2025 at 12:00, and bid opening took place on 7 November 2025 at 12:00. Seven bids were received for each lot, including five from SMEs. Kimal plc was awarded Lot 2 for Custom Radiology Packs and Lot 3 for Custom Cath Lab Packs; both contracts were signed on 12 August 2026. Molnlycke Health Care was awarded Lot 1 for Custom Theatre Packs, with that contract signed on 21 August 2026. Contract values were £616,896, £1,261,197 and £3,035,484.20 respectively. Each initial term was 1,080 days, with options to extend by up to four years. Evaluation weighted quality and technical criteria at 40%, desktop evaluation at 10% and price at 50%.

This award demonstrates established demand from NHS Lanarkshire for customised, department-specific procedure packs rather than generic consumables. A credible future competitor would need the ability to develop and consistently supply packs for several clinical specialisms, including surgery, radiology, cardiac catheterisation, pacing and vascular procedures. Strong technical capability will matter because quality and technical performance formed half of the evaluation, including a further desktop assessment for the highest-scoring bidders. Suppliers should also be able to manage electronic ordering and support reliable deliveries to multiple Lanarkshire hospitals. The competition attracted seven bids in each lot, with five SME bidders per lot, indicating that smaller specialist suppliers can participate. Relevant medical-kit manufacturing, pack assembly, quality assurance and NHS supply experience would strengthen a future response.
