## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for PPE and Workplace Safety products under tender ID NP770/22. This procurement, categorised as 'goods' within the protective and safety clothing industry, took place in Edinburgh, UK. Key items include protective gear, goggles, headgear, footwear, gloves, and visors, with a total contract value of £8 million signed on 26th May 2022. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This procurement process now stands at the award stage, with the successful supplier being Arco Ltd.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in the manufacturing or provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) and workplace safety products. Companies that focus on high-quality protective clothing and gear, as well as those that offer competitive pricing, would be particularly well-suited to compete in future similar tenders.
