## Summary

The National Procurement authority has successfully completed a tender process for the supply of "Dressings" within the healthcare sector, focusing on the acute sector of NHS Scotland. This process followed a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, necessitated by the ongoing demands arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement was officially initiated on 1 June 2016, and the recently finalised contract is valued at £12,750,000, reflecting the critical need for these goods across all Scottish Mainland and Island Health Boards.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those with experience in providing healthcare goods. Suppliers of dressings and related medical products are well-positioned to engage with the National Procurement authority. The contract is currently served by several active suppliers, including major players like 3M United Kingdom Plc and Activa Healthcare Ltd, indicating robust competition within this sector. Companies seeking to expand their presence in the healthcare market should consider participating in future tenders for similar contracts to leverage growth opportunities stemming from public sector needs.
