Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, through National Procurement, is buying patient temperature management and fluid-warming products for NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards, other NHS organisations, integrated joint boards and Scottish hospices. The requirement covers patient-warming blankets using forced air and non-forced air, reusable patient-warming products, controlled temperature-management equipment, fluid warmers for standard and rapid flow, fluid warming for neonates and paediatric patients up to 20kg, and warming cabinets and shelves. Products will be delivered mainly to the National Distribution Site, with some direct deliveries to individual Health Boards. This is a goods procurement for use across NHS Scotland’s geographical Health Board network. The relevant CPV classification is 33186200, covering blood warmers.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time; the award period starts then. The framework agreement covers 48 months, with each lot recorded as a 1,440-day contract period. Its estimated value is £7,600,000 for the framework duration. There are eight lots, and suppliers may bid for any number. The authority envisages an unranked multi-supplier award with five suppliers per lot, within a framework allowing up to 40 participants. Evaluation is generally 30% clinical evidence and 50% price; the two blanket lots instead use 10% sustainability and 50% price. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist healthcare suppliers with established patient-warming or fluid-warming portfolios. Relevant capability includes supplying forced-air and non-forced-air warming blankets, reusable systems, controlled temperature-management equipment, standard- and rapid-flow fluid warmers, paediatric products, and warming cabinets or shelves. Suppliers should be able to provide robust clinical evidence, or demonstrate sustainability credentials for the blanket lots, alongside competitive pricing. The requirement calls for reliable NHS-wide distribution, mainly through the National Distribution Site but with capacity for direct Health Board deliveries. Participants should support electronic ordering and electronic payment arrangements, provide electronic catalogues where required, and meet the framework’s multi-supplier operating model. Community-benefit commitments are mandatory, including proposed benefits or engagement with NHS Scotland’s Community Benefits Gateway.
