## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the acquisition of "Wound Closure Products" by National Service Scotland - National Procurement, based in Edinburgh, UK. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically aimed at providing essential products to NHS Scotland across various locations. Currently in the contract modification stage, the process involves a modification to an existing contract to ensure continued supply during the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic. The related contract period, which commenced on December 1, 2021, is set to end on November 30, 2022, with a total value of £21 million.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the healthcare supplies sector, particularly those specialising in wound care products such as sutures, skin adhesives, and staplers. Large-scale suppliers and manufacturers, especially those familiar with NHS procurement processes and able to meet the rigorous standards required during this pandemic, would find themselves well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement contributes not only to the health sector but also fosters business expansion and the potential for long-term partnerships with NHS Scotland.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This modification of contract term is to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic and to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 Modification notice is advised at framework level and does not detail individual lots.
