The equipment and service will support the health board’s Tissue Viability Service in preventing and managing pressure ulcers, by helping ensure that the right product is provided for the right surface and patient at the right time. The requirement is classified as goods and covers pressure-relieving redistribution products, including dynamic systems. Delivery and use will be across NHS Lanarkshire’s area, serving patients and services in Lanarkshire. The existing arrangement has contributed to a noticeable reduction in the use of alternating systems. The buyer is seeking innovations and new products that can continue or improve this clinical support. This is a planned procurement: NHS Lanarkshire has stated its intention to start a new procurement, but it is not yet an invitation to tender. The expected approach is a competitive tender, with a contract notice currently anticipated around September or October 2026 and the procurement expected to conclude by March 2027. The buyer has provided a pre-market engagement questionnaire to gather information from suppliers before the tender begins, including views on innovations and products available in the market. The estimated total value is £18,000,000. The procurement is currently arranged as one planned lot and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Suppliers should treat the published dates as indicative expectations rather than bid deadlines. This will suit suppliers that rent, supply or service dynamic pressure-relieving and pressure-redistribution equipment for health or care settings. Businesses with established products for preventing and managing pressure ulcers, and those able to demonstrate genuinely useful innovations or new approaches, should monitor the planned tender. The buyer is particularly interested in products that support patient-specific selection: matching equipment to the surface and the patient, at the appropriate time. Specialist manufacturers, rental providers, equipment-service businesses and technology developers may therefore find the requirement relevant. The pre-market questionnaire offers an opportunity to explain available products and innovations and to help the buyer understand the market before the procurement reaches the tender stage. It is a preparation opportunity, not a contract that can be bid for now. ## Notice NHS Lanarkshire (NHSL) intends to commence procurement of a new contract for the Rental and associated provision of services for dynamic pressure relieving/distribution equipment, with its current estimate being that a contract notice will be published around September/October 2026 and the procurement concluded by March 2027.
