Summary of the contracting process

NHS National Services Scotland, acting through the Common Services Agency, is buying medical consumables for supply and delivery to NHS entities across Scotland. The requirement covers advanced physiological monitoring products, including adult reusable pulse oximeter sensors with adapter and extension cables; single-use pulse oximeter sensors for neonatal, infant, paediatric and adult patients; handheld pulse oximeters and accessories; and disposable processed EEG sensors for monitoring depth of anaesthesia, alongside cerebral oximetry consumables. The procurement is for goods in the medical consumables and patient-monitoring equipment categories. Suppliers should be able to provide the specified products and support delivery across the NHS in Scotland. The requirement is divided into four product lots, allowing businesses to focus on the areas matching their range and supply capability.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS National Services Scotland invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted electronically by 31 August 2026 at 12:00 noon, with the bid opening scheduled for the same time. The estimated total value is £12,000,000. Each of the four lots has a contract period of 1,440 days, with no renewal or additional purchase options stated. The arrangement is a framework with up to 10 participants. Bids must be in English, remain valid for 90 days, and alternative bids are not allowed. The award period starts at the bid deadline and an award notice is expected on 27 November. Electronic ordering and payment are supported, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is recurrent.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers with established capability in physiological monitoring consumables. Relevant product experience includes pulse oximetry sensors, handheld oximeters, patient-monitoring accessories, processed EEG sensors for depth-of-anaesthesia monitoring and cerebral oximetry consumables. Suppliers should have the production, sourcing, quality-control and distribution capacity to serve NHS entities across Scotland, including requirements spanning neonatal, infant, paediatric and adult use. The four-lot structure may suit businesses with a focused product portfolio as well as broader healthcare supply companies. Participation requires electronic tender submission in English and acceptance that variants are not permitted. A subcontracting clause applies, and community benefits form part of the requirement, so bidders should be prepared to address those obligations in their delivery approach.
