## Summary

The procurement process is led by National Procurement, focusing on the supply of Wound Closure Products to NHS Scotland. This includes items such as sutures, external skin adhesives, and skin staplers. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, following a limited procurement method due to the urgent need arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at £28,395,292, was signed on 22 October 2013 and covers deliveries across all Scottish Mainland and Island Health Boards. The relevant classification for this procurement falls under the health sector, specifically within goods, with an emphasis on addressing additional demands during the health crisis.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers within the medical and healthcare industries, particularly for those specialising in surgical and wound care products. Companies such as medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms, and suppliers of healthcare consumables would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Engaging in this market could yield substantial returns, especially given the ongoing demands placed on healthcare services in response to Covid-19 and the need for reliable sourcing of essential medical supplies.
