Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, trading as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has progressed from the tender to the award stage in its procurement process for Enteral Feeds. The focus is on acquiring various nutritional and medical products, including Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) and paediatric feeds, for NHS Scotland Health Boards. The framework agreements have been actively awarded as of 1 January 2026 with participating suppliers such as Fresenius Kabi Limited and Nutricia Ltd. Located in the UKM region, the process was managed under an open procedure method with contracts possessing a 48-month duration, and no extension provisions available. This procurement is part of a structured effort to enhance healthcare delivery across Scotland.

This tender provides a substantial growth opportunity for businesses within the medical supply industry. Companies specialising in nutritional products and medical device manufacturing are well-positioned to benefit, especially those capable of meeting quality service, delivery criteria, and competitive pricing structures. SMEs like AYMES International Limited and Nutrinovo Ltd have successfully secured contracts, indicating that smaller enterprises with niche offerings and robust operational capabilities can effectively compete alongside larger organisations. Engaging in such contracts allows businesses to build long-standing relationships with public health systems and enhance their market presence in the healthcare sector.
