Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Respirator Hoods and Associated Equipment" was conducted by the National Records of Scotland, located at General Register House, Edinburgh. This contract, classified under the public records industry category, pertains to the location in Edinburgh, UKM75. The process has reached the award stage, and the contract was signed on 7th April 2026. The tender was executed using a limited procurement method, specifically as a call-off from Scotland Excel 0621 Lot 2, without prior publication, and falls outside the scope of a directive, offering specialised respiratory protection equipment as part of general public services.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, primarily for companies dealing in personal protective equipment (PPE), specifically those supplying respirator hoods. Large companies like Arco Ltd, which was awarded the contract for its competitive offerings, are well-suited to compete in similar processes. The procurement method favours entities with established procurement tracks under specific frameworks, providing advantageous conditions for firms familiar with the Scottish Excel arrangements. Businesses in service provision, particularly within the PPE sector, could leverage this opportunity to establish or strengthen their presence within public procurement contracts in Scotland.
