OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the supply of Probe Covers intended for use with Genius Tympanic Thermometers. This procurement falls within the health industry and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The process was initiated as a limited tender without prior publication, and the award notice was completed on 1st April 2019 for a contract valued at £826,000. The delivery address for the products is the National Distribution Centre in Larkhall, ML9 2QX, with the procurement classified under the goods category.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses that specialise in medical supplies, particularly those with expertise in consumables that are specific to medical equipment. Given the nature of the procurement, suppliers that have established capabilities to provide compatible products for healthcare applications, especially those that can fulfil requirements for existing NHS thermometer systems, would be well-positioned to compete. The approach taken indicates a unique market scenario where competition is limited due to technical specifications, thus presenting a niche opportunity for qualified suppliers in this sector.
