Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has issued a tender for the purchase of surgical gloves. This procurement is aimed at purchasing both latex and latex-free surgical gloves for use across NHS Scotland Theatres and other relevant areas. The estimated contract value is £13,000,000 and it will operate under an open procedure. The tender process is currently active, with a tender closing date set for April 10, 2025. The procurement falls under the "Health" industry category and the goods will be delivered across the UKM region. The tender aims to award a maximum of four suppliers to each lot, resulting in a multi-supplier ranked award framework, with the contract period extending for 36 months plus a potential 24-month extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing or supply of surgical gloves, particularly those that specialise in producing a diverse range of latex and latex-free products. The framework agreement will allow selected suppliers to secure a long-term contract, providing consistent business over several years. The opportunity is best suited for companies that can meet quality and price criteria, as 60% of the evaluation will be based on price and 30% on functional characteristics. Additionally, businesses with the capability to support community benefits and the NHS Scotland's Community Benefits Gateway may find this tender particularly advantageous, as these criteria are included in the procurement requirements.
