Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland is procuring a slit-lamp simulator, together with all associated parts and software. This is medical equipment for simulating slit-lamp examinations, supplied as a complete system with its related components and software. The requirement is for goods, rather than construction or a service contract, and is divided into one lot covering the simulator and associated items. Delivery is in Scotland. The procurement also includes community benefits and a subcontracting clause, with the expected community benefits described in the contract documents. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide the simulator as well as the supporting parts and software within a single coordinated offer.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The published tender set a submission deadline of 20 November 2026 at 13:00 UTC; the evaluation period was due to start at that time. The contract period is 360 days, with four possible renewal periods of 12 months each. Evaluation is weighted 60% on technical quality and 40% on price. The tender requires electronic catalogues and does not allow variant bids. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender data gives no estimated contract value.

This opportunity is best suited to medical-equipment suppliers able to supply a slit-lamp simulator alongside all associated parts and software, and to coordinate these elements as a complete package. Technical quality carries greater evaluation weight than price, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate how their proposed simulator and supporting components meet the requirement; price remains a substantial part of the assessment. The electronic-catalogue requirement means bidders need to provide their offer in that format, and variant proposals are not permitted. A subcontracting clause and community benefits apply, so suppliers should review the contract documents for the relevant expectations and consider whether their delivery model can support them. The requirement may suit a specialist equipment provider or a supplier working with suitable parts and software partners.
