## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland, is initiating a procurement process for the supply of walking aids, with a value of £7 million, targeted at NHS Scotland and HSC Northern Ireland. This planned tender is currently in the planning stage and is set to feature numerous items including various types of crutches, walkers, and walking frames tailored for adults and children. A key Spotlight Session will be held on 31 January 2017 at Gyle Square, Edinburgh, to provide prospective bidders with insights into tender completion, past compliance issues, and specific details regarding sustainable solutions within the tender process.

This procurement opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in medical supplies, rehabilitation equipment, and durable medical goods. Companies that manufacture or distribute walking aids or similar products would be particularly well-suited to participate. The session will also offer a unique chance for networking, as attending businesses can engage directly with procurement officials and gain valuable insights that could support their growth in the healthcare procurement market.
