## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is inviting tenders for a framework agreement to supply patient lifting equipment across NHS Scotland Health Boards and local councils. The procurement, titled "Patient Lifting," falls under the healthcare lifting equipment category with an estimated value of £8.4 million over a 48-month contract duration. The framework will be open to multiple suppliers, and community benefits are a mandatory requirement. The tendering process is conducted through open procedure, and submissions are expected by 8 April 2026. This contract involves various lots, including non-powered sit-to-stand aids, mobile and gantry hoists, clip and loop slings, and air-assisted lifting devices, all intended for timely delivery within the geographical region of UKM.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare lifting equipment, allowing them to become key suppliers to NHS Scotland. Companies that excel in product evaluation, sustainability, and price competitiveness will find ample opportunities, given the multi-supplier unranked award nature of the lots.
