Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the tender titled "NP654/19 Audiological Batteries." This procurement falls under the health industry category, taking place in Edinburgh, UK. The current stage of the procurement is active, with a tender period ending on 2nd December 2019 and an award period starting on the same date. The procurement method is open, allowing broad participation, with a total estimated contract value of £3,255,000 for a framework agreement that could last for up to three years, with two optional extensions of twelve months each.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the health and medical supplies sector, as it involves the supply of Hearing Aid and cochlear implant batteries for NHS Scotland. Companies that already possess certifications such as ISO9001 and ISO14001, and can demonstrate compliance with specific healthcare standards and regulations are strongly encouraged to participate. Given that only a limited number of suppliers can secure the contract, large established firms as well as agile small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the stringent requirements may find this an appealing venture for growth and collaboration with the NHS.

The notification will incorporate a 'standstill period' of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the Authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the Authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are entitled to write to the Authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The Authority will respond within 15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the Authority of such request during the standstill period may not prevent the Authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. Where an economic operator is dissatisfied with the Authority's response to its request for clarification, or considers that the framework agreement has been concluded in breach of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, such economic operator is advised to promptly seek independent legal advice.",
