Orthotic Services

THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS")

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The tender for Orthotic Services is being conducted by The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland) based in Edinburgh, UK. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following the completion of a limited procurement method, which did not involve prior publication of a call for competition. The contract modification extends the term from 28th February 2022 to 27th February 2023 to meet additional demands arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The total contract value is £608,912, and interested suppliers had the opportunity to engage with the procurement team through contact point Shona MacKenzie.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in orthotics or related healthcare services. Companies like Buchanan Orthotics Ltd, which is already a supplier, could further benefit, but there is room for new entrants, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of meeting the evolving demands of the NHS during this challenging time. The ability to adapt quickly in terms of supply and innovation will be advantageous for potential competitors aiming to secure contracts within the public health framework.
