Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Common Services Agency, known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), is for the renewal of a national framework titled "Evacuated Blood Collection Systems". This process is currently in the planning stage as of 22nd April 2026. The procurement pertains to the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on venepuncture equipment and is expected to commence tendering around the beginning of September 2026. The process will involve multiple lots covering various blood collection devices and accessories, with deliveries focused in Scotland (region UKM). The estimated total value for the entire framework spanning four years is £17,200,000. PSD Scotland aims to supply the NHS Scotland either through the National Distribution Centre or directly to health boards.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of medical devices, particularly those specialising in blood sampling equipment. Companies equipped with innovative solutions and competitive pricing for items such as tubes, safety needles, tourniquets, and lancets could benefit greatly. The nuanced requirements across the planned lots suggest opportunities for a range of businesses from SMEs to larger suppliers adept at meeting standards necessary for healthcare provision. Given the tender covers a broad array of related products, businesses that can provide comprehensive solutions or adapt to future lot configurations would find this an attractive opportunity for expansion within NHS Scotland’s procurement framework.
