Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, through National Procurement, bought a framework for dental sundries on behalf of NHS Scotland health boards, other NHS organisations and Scottish hospices. It covers hospital locations across Scotland; general dental practices are outside its scope. The products span hygiene, prevention and consumables; restorative and operative dentistry; surgical supplies, medicaments and orthodontics; impression, laboratory and diagnostic products; rotary instruments, burs and digital dentistry; and dental equipment. The wider product range includes hand instruments and handpieces, endodontic supplies, materials for finishing and polishing, impressions, linings and cements, matrix systems, oral hygiene products, pins and posts, restoratives, and temporary crowns. This is a supply opportunity for firms serving institutional dental services, rather than a framework for supplying general dental practitioners.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded through an open procedure. The framework is divided into six product lots, and each is a multi-supplier, unranked award. The Dental Directory, Wrights Healthgroup and Henry Schein UK Holdings Limited were selected for every lot. Each recorded contract is valued at £13 million; these are separate lot contract values and should not be added together. The award date was 25 June 2026, and contracts were signed on 31 August 2026. Each lot has a stated contract duration of 1,440 days; the overall procurement description gives a 48-month contract duration. Evaluation assigned 70% to price and 10% to service. Electronic catalogues were required for most lots, and variants were not allowed where that requirement was recorded.

The awards show that this buyer sources a broad hospital dental-products range through a multi-supplier framework, with three suppliers appointed to each product area. A credible competitor would need to supply the relevant specialist categories reliably, from routine hygiene and consumables through restorative, surgical, diagnostic and equipment lines. The breadth of products suggests commercial value in having a substantial catalogue and the ability to support different clinical requirements across NHS hospital customers and Scottish hospices. Service quality formed part of evaluation alongside price, so suppliers would need to demonstrate dependable fulfilment and responsive service as well as competitive pricing. Electronic catalogue capability is relevant across most lots. The awards were made to large suppliers, providing evidence of the competitive scale in this market; businesses may need sufficient range and delivery capacity, or a focused offer within a particular product area, to compete credibly.
