Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which is based in Edinburgh, UK. The tender, titled "NSSCOVID-19 -334 VOC's - Equipment and consumables," concerns the provision of equipment and consumables for the rapid detection of COVID-19 variants. This contract, awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication, aims to address the increased demands of the Scottish health sector during the pandemic. The award was finalised on 25th February 2021, with a total value of £500,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health-related goods and services, particularly those with experience in supplying diagnostics equipment and consumables. Companies that can meet the high-quality standards required by the NHS, as indicated by the award criteria focusing on quality and price, would be well-prepared to compete. The lack of competition for technical reasons suggests potential for similar future direct awards, creating openings for suppliers capable of rapidly responding to health sector needs.
