Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Cleaning Wipe Products tailored for surfaces and patients was conducted by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS). The procurement, initiated on behalf of various NHS Scotland entities, covered the supply of wipes and cleansers for use on hard surfaces, medical devices, and patients across all Scottish Health Boards. Categorised under the 'goods' industry, the procurement followed an open procedure and was part of a framework agreement. The contract, valued at approximately £18.8 million, commenced in June 2026, following an award stage completed on 12 June 2026. The initiative aimed to contract multiple suppliers with no optional extensions over a contract period of 48 months. The procurement targeted the region of Scotland (UKM) and was comprehensively open to electronic submissions.

This tender presented substantial opportunities for large-scale suppliers in the wipes and cleansing products industry, aiming to serve healthcare institutions across Scotland. Companies specialising in the manufacture and supply of cleaning wipes, cleansers, and supporting sustainable practices would be well-suited to compete. The procurement's framework agreement allowed for multiple suppliers in ranked and unranked awards, favouring businesses capable of competitive pricing and strong quality measures in terms of functional characteristics, training and support, and sustainability, while primarily emphasising cost-effectiveness. Engaging with community benefits was encouraged through the NHS Scotland's Community Benefits Gateway, which could offer additional avenues for supplier involvement and value addition to the local community.
