## Summary

Public Services Delivery Scotland, the Common Services Agency, intends to procure wound closure products for NHS Scotland. The requirement covers surgical sutures and related products, including absorbable and non-absorbable braided or monofilament sutures, absorbable and non-absorbable ties, steel wires, knotless and antimicrobial sutures, non-invasive wound closure products, skin adhesives with applicators, skin staplers, skin extractors, and combined stapler and extractor supplies. It also includes wound closure and tissue accessories, excluding pacing wires and nylon tape. This is a goods procurement for delivery across Scotland. Suppliers should therefore consider whether their product range covers one or more of these clinical consumable categories and is suitable for use across NHS Scotland.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The planned requirement is divided into 15 lots covering the separate wound closure product categories, from absorbable braided sutures to skin staplers, extractors and accessories. The total estimated value is £20,000,000. The buyer’s expected date for the next notice is 22 October 2026. The current information identifies the requirement as a supply of goods and surgical wound closure products, with the process covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The purchasing organisation is acting as a central purchasing body for NHS Scotland, so the eventual procurement may be relevant to suppliers able to support multiple NHS requirements across Scotland.

The procurement is likely to suit manufacturers, specialist medical-device suppliers and distributors with established ranges of surgical sutures and wound closure products. Relevant commercial capability includes supplying several product types, such as absorbable or non-absorbable sutures, braided or monofilament designs, ties, steel wires, knotless or antimicrobial sutures, skin adhesives, staplers, extractors and related accessories. Suppliers with a focused range may be able to prepare around one or more product categories rather than the whole requirement, because the requirement is split into separate lots. Businesses should assess their ability to supply NHS Scotland consistently at scale and identify which clinical consumables they can support when the procurement reaches the market.
