## Summary

The NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) has recently awarded a contract for the provision of Multi-Functional Devices & Associated Services to Ricoh UK Ltd. The procurement process was conducted via a limited tender procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract has an active status with a total value of £3,200,000 and was signed on 4th May 2023. The contract is related to multimedia equipment and covers NHS locations throughout Scotland.

This tender award provides business opportunities for suppliers of multimedia equipment and associated services, particularly those capable of meeting the demands of the healthcare industry in Scotland. As the contract involves providing services to NHS locations, businesses with expertise in serving healthcare institutions and with the capacity to supply and maintain Multi-Functional Devices are well-suited to compete. The contract extension period allows for market engagement to inform future procurement strategies in light of uncertainties post-Covid recovery and high inflation rates.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of Multi-Functional Devices & Associated Services. Additional information: Contract value shown is for the 12 month extension period based on historical uptake figures.

### Procurement Information

MFDs are intrinsically linked to the design and delivery of NHSS services in particular the physical facilities, buildings, sites and staffing; at this time due to post Covid recovery and unprecedented pressures on NHSS services these areas remain uncertain and subject to recovery, review and planning / strategy processes meaning the MFD requirement including volume and type of machines is at this time uncertain. Inflation in UK and globally remains high and unpredictable meaning future forecasts of pricing and supply chains are uncertain; the NHSS contract would for example require a period of fixed pricing that may not be viable for the supply chain and market to be able to support. As a result it is deemed that a tender could not be satisfactorily carried out and supported by the market and therefore a further 12 month extension is necessary. It is envisaged that during this period comprehensive supplier and market engagement can be carried out to inform the strategy with the tender process being commenced at the earliest opportunity.
