Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire procured medical consumables comprising renal catheter and fistula packs, including medical kits (CPV 33140000 and 33141620). The requirement is for a consistent and reliable supply to University Hospital Monklands in Lanarkshire, where the renal unit provides care to renal patients across the area. NHS Lanarkshire is the buyer and a central purchasing body. The goods are supplied to the University Hospital Monklands site in Scotland. This is a goods procurement focused on the manufacture, distribution or supply of renal access products and associated packs for use in a hospital renal service. The requirement concerns physical products rather than clinical treatment, staffing or facility management, so it is most relevant to medical consumables manufacturers, specialist healthcare distributors and suppliers with established hospital supply operations.

The procurement has reached the award stage. It used an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English. The tender deadline was 7 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC, and the award period began on that date. Six bids were received, including three from SMEs. The published estimated value was £216,500. A2B Healthcare was awarded the contract for £145,082, signed on 12 May 2026, and the contract is active. The contract term is 1,080 days, with options to extend for up to a further four years in any increment at NHS Lanarkshire’s discretion, plus an option to purchase additional related supplies. Evaluation weighted price at 55%, quality and technical criteria at 35%, and product-sample evaluation at 10%. The lot is also recorded as cancelled, despite the active award and contract.

This award shows a defined NHS requirement for dependable renal catheter and fistula pack supply at hospital scale, with product performance assessed through samples as well as technical quality and price. Suppliers seeking to compete when the requirement returns would need a reliable source of renal access packs, robust quality assurance and the ability to provide representative samples for evaluation. They would also need dependable distribution to University Hospital Monklands and the operational capacity to support repeat supply, additional related purchases and electronic NHS ordering and payment processes. The competition attracted six bids, three from SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller suppliers can participate alongside larger healthcare businesses. The recurring nature of the requirement makes relevant NHS supply experience, consistent product availability and competitive pricing important capabilities for a future opportunity from this buyer.
