Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran procured medical goods for delivery across Ayrshire and Arran: NSK ENT drill consumables under a commitment agreement linked to the NP69921 arrangement. The requirement concerns consumables used with NSK ENT drilling equipment and sits within the wider field of orthopaedic power tools, bone cement, mixing systems, pulse lavage and tourniquet cuffs. It is a goods procurement, intended to support the health service’s clinical activities in the Ayrshire and Arran area. The named buyer is NHS Ayrshire & Arran, based in Ayr. The requirement was organised as a single lot and focused specifically on maintaining access to compatible NSK ENT drill consumables rather than procuring a broad range of unrelated medical supplies.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. NHS Ayrshire & Arran made a direct award to NSK UK from the NP69921 agreement, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. One bid was recorded for the single lot. The contract value is £183,000, in GBP. The contract is active and was signed on 21 August 2026. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the applicable directive and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award covers the complete requirement for NSK ENT drill consumables under the named agreement. No separate evaluation weighting or scored award criteria are stated for this direct award.

This procurement shows established demand from NHS Ayrshire & Arran for compatible NSK ENT drill consumables and indicates that the buyer uses a pre-existing framework route for this type of clinical supply. Suppliers seeking to compete when an equivalent requirement returns would need a dependable supply of NSK-compatible ENT drill consumables, a clear understanding of the associated clinical equipment, and the operational capacity to support deliveries across Ayrshire and Arran. Experience in supplying NHS or other healthcare organisations would help demonstrate familiarity with clinical procurement, product assurance, continuity of supply and the practical requirements of hospital users. Businesses should also be capable of engaging through a framework or another compliant public-sector purchasing route.
