## Summary

The NHS National Procurement is initiating a tender process for the supply of paper products, including hand towels, toilet tissue, and couch rolls, to support health boards across NHS Scotland. This procurement, classified under the goods category with an estimated annual value of GBP 4.5 million, is currently in the planning stage. Bidders are required to submit a completed product information sheet by 12:00hrs on 9th February 2022. The products will be delivered to a National Distribution Centre located in the UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in hygiene and consumable products, particularly those that can provide compatible systems for the existing NHS dispenser network, largely comprised of Kimberly Clark products. Companies that manufacture or supply paper products and their corresponding dispensing systems are well-suited to compete. Bidders will need to ensure the availability of compatible consumables throughout the duration of the procurement term, which may extend for up to four years post-award.
