This procurement falls within the health industry category and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The tender is currently in the active stage, having begun on December 5, 2018, with a submission deadline set for January 17, 2019. The procurement method is open, allowing any qualified supplier to participate, and it encompasses various lots for audiological devices, including hearing aids and tinnitus therapy devices. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of medical devices, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in audiological products. Companies capable of providing air conduction hearing aids, earmoulds, and wearables are well-suited to compete for contracts valued at approximately £38 million over a three-year period, with the option to extend. As NHS Scotland looks to procure high-quality products, suppliers that align with the standards set out in the tender and demonstrate capability in logistics and product specification can position themselves for fruitful engagements within this sector. ## Notice The supply of Audiological Devices including air conduction hearing aids, Earmoulds, Tinnitus masking devices, Non Programmable Tinnitus therapy devices and Hearable / Wearables. ### Lot Information Hearing Aids (Air conduction) Purchase and provision of Hearing Aids (Air conduction) Renewal: The Authority is entitled at its sole discretion to extend the duration of the Framework Agreement by up to two (2) periods of twelve (12) months Earmoulds Purchase / provision of Earmoulds Renewal: The Authority is entitled at its sole discretion to extend the duration of the Framework Agreement by up to two (2) periods of twelve (12) months Combined Hearing Aid Tinnitus device Purchase / provision of Combined Hearing Aid Tinnitus device.
