Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, often known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSDS), is executing a procurement process titled "Dressings" under the division of National Services Scotland. The tender focuses on health sector goods and is intended for the NHS Scotland Health Boards and other participating authorities. This open procurement procedure is set in Edinburgh, with the procurement stage marked as complete as of May 2026. The procurement involved various lots, including Waterproof Plastic Adhesive Tape and Speciality Dressings, with contracts signed between 18th and 21st May 2026, each valued at £4,025,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical supplies industry to contribute to a large-scale, established framework agreement with NHS Scotland. It is particularly advantageous for companies offering high-quality medical dressings and bandages. Given the extensive scope and diverse range of products required, both large and SME suppliers have successfully competed, as seen in the contracts awarded to companies such as Crest Medical Ltd and Essity UK Ltd. Enterprises capable of providing innovative and advanced dressing solutions are likely to find this procurement process conducive to business growth and exposure in the healthcare supply domain.
