Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has awarded a contract for the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) with a total value of £210,000, following an open procurement process.

The contract was awarded to Paragon Products (UK) Ltd, located in Musselburgh, and covers the supply of essential PPE, including surgical face masks. The procurement stage is now complete, and the notice serves to inform the market about the awarded business.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the PPE and healthcare sectors, particularly those capable of meeting urgent demands during crises. Businesses that specialise in manufacturing or distributing healthcare products, especially personal protective equipment, would be well-suited to consider future bids or related procurement opportunities with the Scottish Borders Council and similar authorities.
