Summary of the contracting process

NHS Highland has successfully completed the procurement process for the contract titled "HH143-24-NP Needle Exchange Supplies," focusing on the health category within the Inverness region (UKM6). The tender process was initiated openly, reflecting its procurement method, from April 2024 to March 2025. This award is part of a framework contract identified as NP34422, to procure injectable equipment paraphernalia. The contract, valued at £58,900, was signed on 2nd May 2024 with Orion Medical Supplies, located in Bicester (UKJ14), as the awarded supplier. The procurement process progressed from the tender stage into the award and contract stages, now marked as complete and active, respectively.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those with experience in servicing healthcare tenders and managing supply logistics. Large-scale suppliers with robust networks and capabilities to deliver goods efficiently to NHS facilities in Inverness would find this contract well-suited to their strengths. Although Orion Medical Supplies was the sole bidder in this particular procurement process, businesses aiming to supply health-related goods in future tenders by NHS Highland should ensure their preparedness by aligning with open procurement procedures and actively engaging in similar tender opportunities. Expanding into the health sector through NHS procurements can significantly enhance business growth and market presence.
