## Summary

NHS Lanarkshire has concluded the procurement process for the supply of Adult Oral Nutritional Supplements to adult patients in the community on an 'off-script' basis. The buying organisation, NHS Lanarkshire, is located at Kirklands, Fallside Road, Bothwell, UK, with postal code G71 8BB. The procurement, under the open procedure, targeted the health industry category and was governed by public law. The contract has been awarded to Abbott Laboratories Ltd, and the signed contract is valued at GBP 1,034,304. This process began with the tender stage in September 2024 and achieved contract award soon after the closing on 7th October 2024, with the contract being signed by February 2025. The contract term includes options for two 12-month extensions at the discretion of the Board.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in nutritional supplements and logistics. Suppliers with capabilities to manage fluctuating delivery volumes and provide bolus-fed patient products are particularly well-positioned. Given the requirement to track and report supply to patients, businesses with robust data management and reporting systems could leverage these requirements for growth. Furthermore, companies looking to engage in long-term government contracts can benefit from the potential extensions within the specified contract period. The tender prioritised quality and technical capabilities alongside price, offering an 55/45 quality to price evaluation ratio, making it crucial for businesses to emphasise product innovation and service quality in their proposals.
