## Summary

NHS Tayside procured medical consumables associated with Advanced Instruments. The requirement concerns goods rather than construction or professional services, and the award description identifies the contract as an award to Advanced Instruments. NHS Tayside is the buyer, with its procurement function based at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. Nova Biomedical is recorded as the appointed supplier. Perth & Kinross Council also appears as a buyer in the contracting parties, but NHS Tayside is the buyer named for this tender. The opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of medical consumables, particularly businesses able to supply products compatible with or intended for Advanced Instruments equipment and services supporting NHS Tayside’s healthcare operations.

This procurement has reached the awarded stage. NHS Tayside used a direct award to a single supplier without competition. Nova Biomedical received the award, and the associated contract is recorded as active. The award value is £0 GBP. One bid is recorded. The tender period began on 1 January 2026, and the award was published on 20 August 2026; no award date is recorded. The procurement was not divided into lots in the published outcome. The evaluation basis was therefore the direct single-supplier route rather than a competitive assessment of price and quality. The stated classification is CPV 33140000, covering medical consumables.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the outcome is a useful indicator of NHS Tayside’s demand for medical consumables associated with Advanced Instruments. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would have a demonstrable supply route for the relevant equipment-related consumables, reliable distribution into the NHS Tayside area, and the technical knowledge to confirm product compatibility and continuity of supply. Experience supplying healthcare organisations would help establish credibility, particularly where products affect clinical laboratory or diagnostic operations. Nova Biomedical’s selection also shows that the buyer used a single-supplier direct-award route, so future competitors would need a clear case for their product suitability and ability to meet the buyer’s specific requirement.
