Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), involves the purchase of a CliniMACS Prodigy Cell Processor. The procurement falls within the medical equipments category (CPV Code: 33100000) and is classified as a goods procurement. Located in the UKM region, particularly targeting the healthcare sector, this process was executed using a limited procurement method, specified as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons and the critical nature of the equipment for SNBTS. Key dates in this process include the contract signing on 21st October 2025, though details on stages like planning and tendering remain unspecified as the procurement was directly awarded. The awarded contract, valued at £231,772, was secured by Miltenyi Biotec, ensuring the active status of the agreement.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies within the medical equipment industry that specialise in advanced cell processing technologies. The procurement approach, which did not involve open competition, suggests that future collaborations with NSS may benefit businesses capable of providing unique or technologically specific solutions critical to public health resilience. Large-scale enterprises or specialised firms with the capability to offer bespoke medical technology solutions that align with technical requirements will find such procurement opportunities conducive to expanding their footprint in the healthcare sector. Participation in such specialised award procedures necessitates maintaining high quality and competitive pricing, as demonstrated by the equal weighting of these criteria in the award decision.
