## Summary

NHS Lothian has conducted and completed an open procedure tender process for the procurement of orthotic consumables, encompassing three specific lots: All Adult Footwear including Bespoke, Modular, Stock & Custom Insoles; Footwear Repair and Adaptation; and Ankle Foot Orthosis. The procurement falls under the healthcare industry category and covers deliveries to locations across NHS Lothian in the UKM75 region. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the relevant contracts were signed on 15th July 2024. This contract relates to NHS Lothian, a central purchasing body based in Edinburgh, with the tender initially announced in March and the tender period ending in early April 2024.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for companies specialising in orthotic products and services, particularly those capable of supplying bespoke and modular footwear, as well as providing repair and adaptation services. The contract awarded for these three lots, totalling approximately £472,229, can drive business growth and foster long-term partnerships within the NHS system. Large companies like Buchanan Orthotics Ltd, which has secured the contract for all adult orthotic footwear, and MAG Orthotics Limited, awarded for the repair and adaptation of footwear and ankle-foot orthosis, are well-suited to compete in such tenders due to their capacity and specialised expertise.
