Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly referred to as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is conducting a tender for a Framework Agreement titled "Intravenous & Topical Fluids," aimed at supplying health boards across NHS Scotland. This procurement falls under the health industry category and is currently at the Tender stage. Interested parties should note that the submission deadline for bids is set for 25 November 2021. The procurement process follows an open procedure and covers five specific categories, known as "Lots," including items such as Glucose Infusion Bags and Needle Free Infusion Bags.

This tender represents significant business opportunities for suppliers in the medical and healthcare sectors, particularly those capable of providing intravenous and topical fluid products. Companies that specialise in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or related goods, especially those with qualifications in UK Marketing Authorisation and CE certification, would be well-suited to compete. The framework allows multiple suppliers per lot, thus increasing the chances for interested businesses to secure contracts for high-demand products across NHS Scotland facilities.
