## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of Thermometer Probe Covers is being conducted by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), located in Edinburgh, UK. This contract, titled 'NP60921 Thermometer Probe Covers (Cardinal Health)', falls under the health industry category and was awarded on 31st March 2022 after a limited procurement method, justified by the lack of competition in the market for these specific consumables dedicated to existing equipment. The contract value is £290,000 and was linked to the delivery to the National Distribution Centre in Larkhall.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those capable of providing single-use medical consumables. Companies well-suited to compete in this tender would likely be those with the capacity to deliver high-quality products tailored for specific medical equipment, like the Cardinal Health Genius tympanic thermometer. Participation in this type of contract could enhance visibility and foster growth within the healthcare sector, particularly for suppliers focusing on innovative and tailored healthcare solutions.

### Procurement Information

The award of the contract without prior publication is justified because the thermometer probe covers in this contract are dedicated consumables for presently installed equipment throughout NHS Scotland's Health Boards and there is no generic competition in the market place.
