Summary of the contracting process

NHS National Services Scotland is buying advanced physiological monitoring consumables for supply and delivery to NHS entities across Scotland. The requirement covers four areas: adult reusable pulse oximeter sensors with adapter and extension cables; single-use pulse oximeter sensors for neonatal, infant, paediatric and adult patients; handheld pulse oximeters and accessories; and disposable EEG sensors for monitoring depth of anaesthesia, alongside cerebral oximetry consumables using near-infrared spectroscopy. This is a goods procurement for clinical monitoring equipment and associated consumables, classified under CPV 33140000 for medical consumables and CPV 33195000 for patient-monitoring equipment. Suppliers may bid for any or all of the four lots, and alternative variants are not permitted.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS National Services Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 31 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period for each lot is 1,440 days, with bids required to remain valid for 90 days. The total estimated procurement value is £12,000,000. It will establish a framework agreement with up to 10 participants. The four lots cover reusable adult sensors, disposable sensors for all age groups, handheld oximeters and accessories, and processed EEG and cerebral oximetry consumables. An award notice was scheduled for 27 November 2026, and the requirement is recurrent.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide pulse oximetry, patient-monitoring and anaesthesia-monitoring products at NHS scale. Relevant capability includes supplying reusable sensors with compatible cables, disposable sensors for neonatal through adult use, handheld oximeters and accessories, and disposable EEG or cerebral oximetry consumables. Suppliers should be able to support consistent product availability, NHS-wide distribution in Scotland and electronic ordering and payment arrangements. The framework structure may suit businesses seeking repeated public-sector supply opportunities and those able to compete across several product areas. Bidders must also accommodate the stated subcontracting clause and community-benefit requirements, making delivery planning, supply-chain management and experience of healthcare procurement important considerations.
