The tender titled "NP68921 Thermometer Probe Covers (Hillrom)" pertains to the healthcare industry and is currently in the Award stage. The contract, valued at £495,000, was signed on 31st March 2022, and it involves the supply of single-use disposable thermometer probe covers for specific Welch Allyn/Hillrom thermometers. This procurement was carried out using a limited method without prior publication of a competitive call, justified by the unique nature of the necessary supplies which are only sourced from a single provider. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare supply sector, particularly those that deal with specialised medical consumables. Companies with an established relationship or experience in providing similar health-related goods, especially those with expertise in manufacturing compatible products for NHS equipment, would be well-placed to compete in this arena. As this contract has been awarded but may involve future procurements for similar consumables, it is beneficial for suppliers in this niche market to remain vigilant for upcoming opportunities within NHS procurement activities. ## Notice Single Use Disposable thermometer probe covers used exclusively with the Welch Allyn/Hillrom Pro 6000 tympanic thermometer. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as National Services Scotland) ('the Authority') acting through its division Procurement, Commissioning and Facilities is undertaking this award for supply of Tympanic Thermometer Thermoscan Probe Covers for exclusive use in conjunction with Welch Allyn/Hillrom Pro 4000/6000 Tympanic Thermometers to the National Distribution Centre, Larkhall ML9 2QX on behalf of all entities constituted pursuant to the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (i.e. all NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards and the Authority or other NHS Organisation established pursuant to the NHS (Scotland) Act 1978), any integrated Joint Boards established pursuant to the new Public Bodies (Joint Working) Scotland Act 2014 (collectively hereafter referred to as 'Participating Authorities') where applicable. ### 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. These products are only supplied from a single source; therefore, no opportunity to publish a call for competition. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR445051 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Mar 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £495,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS") | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HILLROM | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38412000 - Thermometers ## Release History - 1 Apr 2022 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR445051 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR445051 NP68921 Thermometer Probe Covers (Hillrom) - Single Use Disposable thermometer probe covers used exclusively with the Welch Allyn/Hillrom Pro 6000 tympanic thermometer. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.nss.nhs.scot/browse/procurement-and-logistics - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000688787 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
