## Summary

NHS Ayrshire & Arran bought personal protective equipment, first aid materials and workwear for use across Ayrshire and Arran. The requirement covers workplace safety and protective clothing supplies, including PPE, workwear, first aid equipment and related safety products. The procurement was for goods rather than services or construction work. The buyer is NHS Ayrshire & Arran, whose services and operations span the Ayrshire and Arran area. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and is linked to the Scotland Excel SXL 0625 arrangement for personal protective equipment, first aid materials and workwear. Relevant suppliers include manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors able to supply a broad range of occupational safety, medical first aid and workwear products across the area.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. NHS Ayrshire & Arran used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, making a direct award from the Scotland Excel SXL 0625 arrangement. Arco LTD was selected for the single lot. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by a non-SME supplier based outside the EU. The contract value is £102,556. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. The evaluation outcome resulted in one supplier being appointed for the full requirement covering PPE, first aid materials and workwear across Ayrshire and Arran.

This award shows established demand from NHS Ayrshire & Arran for a combined supply of PPE, first aid materials and workwear rather than a narrowly defined product line. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need a broad, reliable product range spanning occupational protection, workplace clothing and first aid consumables, together with the logistics to fulfil orders across Ayrshire and Arran. Experience supplying healthcare or other public-sector environments would help demonstrate understanding of safety-critical purchasing, consistent product quality and dependable delivery. The procurement route also indicates that suppliers seeking similar work should understand the Scotland Excel SXL 0625 arrangement and how its participating suppliers are appointed. Capacity to manage electronic public-sector purchasing would also be relevant.
