## Summary

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is seeking suppliers for the procurement of Disposable Bronchoscopes, specifically Ambu products, to be delivered to the National Distribution Centre in Larkhall, UK. This procurement process is currently at the Award stage, having been completed recently, and involved a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was finalised on 1 April 2019, with a total value of £576,000, covering the supply of specific flexible single-use bronchoscopes required for NHS entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for suppliers specialising in medical equipment and consumables, particularly those with the capability to provide compatible products for existing Ambu monitoring systems. Given the specific nature of the supplies mandated by the NHS, businesses with a focus on medical supplies, especially those offering innovative or niche products in the health sector, would be well placed to engage with similar future contracts. Suppliers who can demonstrate compliance with NHS standards and requirements will have the potential for growth in this competitive yet exclusive market.
