## Summary

NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), officially known as The Common Services Agency, has concluded a contracting process for the provision of Sampling & Measuring Products as of 25th March 2026. This procurement falls under the health industry category, specifically targeting goods such as plastic jugs, medicine measures, and dousing spoons. The complete process was conducted as an open procedure covering entities within NHS Scotland, with the awarding stage now finalised. The contracts, signed on 10th March 2026, involve delivery across the UKM region, encompassing all NHS entities under Scottish legislation.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the manufacturing and supply of non-sterile medical products, particularly those specialising in plastic goods.

With significant aggregate contract values, this process augments potential for growth in supply chain capabilities within the healthcare sector, focusing on efficiency and quality in delivering essential measuring instruments for patient care. Businesses aiming to align with public health service standards could leverage these opportunities to expand their market presence.
