Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is initiated by NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) for the provision of "NHS Scotland National Uniforms" under the goods category. This tender involves supplying national uniforms to health boards across Scotland, including higher education establishments, with a contract period lasting until 30 November 2021. Key dates include the contract signing on 30 March 2020 and an active contract value of £1,800,000. Due to the impact of Covid-19 on priorities, the original tender process has been cancelled, and the existing contract has been extended for an additional 12 months, reflecting changes in the procurement landscape.

This opportunity can significantly benefit businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying uniforms, particularly those with experience in healthcare contracts. Large-scale suppliers capable of handling extensive logistical requirements, such as delivering to approximately 260 locations throughout Scotland, would find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Businesses interested in this tender should be prepared to navigate challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic while demonstrating their reliability and capacity to meet the demands set by NSS.

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. Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts: An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.",
