The contract, titled "Surgical Gloves," belongs to the health industry category and is primarily focused on the supply of goods. The procurement was conducted using the 'open' method to invite suppliers, ensuring a fair and transparent process. The procurement, which concluded with the signing of contracts on 2nd April 2026, resulted in the awarding of contracts to several suppliers across five different lots, with an emphasis on both latex and non-latex gloves. The total value of the contracts is estimated at £13,000,000 over a 48-month period, with delivery primarily focusing on the UKM region. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those offering high-quality surgical gloves. Large-scale manufacturers and suppliers capable of providing a consistent and reliable supply chain are well-suited to compete in such procurements. The multi-supplier unranked award system allows multiple businesses to participate and benefit simultaneously, fostering competition and quality improvement. Given the sizeable framework agreement, businesses that can demonstrate the ability to meet stringent quality criteria and competitive pricing would find substantial growth opportunities through enhanced visibility and potential collaboration across NHS Scotland. ## Notice Purchase of Surgical Gloves both Latex and Latex Free in a range of sizes for everyday use throughout NHS Scotland Theatres and other areas where they are deemed suitable.
