Summary of the contracting process

The tender process managed by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), focuses on the procurement of consumables for testing equipment. This process falls under the health industry category and is located in the UKM region, specifically Edinburgh, Scotland. The procurement stage is completed, with the contract awarded on 17th April 2025. The procurement was conducted through a limited procedure, meaning it did not involve prior publication due to the consumables being patent-protected items used on specific installed equipment. The scope of the contract includes service and maintenance for COVID-19 testing equipment, drawing from the NHS Supply Chain framework. The buyer's office is located at 1 South Gyle Crescent, Edinburgh.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, mainly for large enterprises engaged as suppliers of specialised health equipment. The procurement was awarded to Mast, a large-scale supplier based in Merseyside, highlighting the demand for companies capable of providing patent-specific consumables and related service maintenance. With a contract value of £890,638, the award process was directed towards entities that can safeguard intellectual property rights, creating a niche opportunity for businesses with unique product offerings or those willing to partner with proprietary rights holders. The tender’s inclusion under the UKHSA framework signals a stable procurement process with defined extension options, beneficial for long-term business planning.
