The requirement is for goods supplied across Scotland and is divided into 15 product areas: absorbable and non-absorbable braided or monofilament sutures, absorbable and non-absorbable ties, steel wires, knotless sutures, antimicrobial sutures, non-invasive wound closure products, external skin adhesives with applicators, skin staplers, skin extractors, combined staplers and extractors, and other wound closure and tissue accessories. The main category is medical wound-care products, including sutures and related products (CPV 33141121). The requirement also includes non-invasive wound closure products and related chemical preparations (CPV 24911200). This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The planned total value is £20,000,000. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 22 October 2026; this is an indicative date rather than a tender deadline. The requirement is structured as 15 planned lots, covering separate suture, tie, wire, adhesive, stapler, extractor and accessory product areas. Suppliers should assess which product areas match their range and prepare for the future competition. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and based on the 2014 EU public procurement legal framework. This will suit manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-supply businesses able to provide wound closure products for NHS use across Scotland. Relevant suppliers may offer one or more focused product ranges, such as absorbable or non-absorbable sutures, antimicrobial or knotless sutures, ties, steel wires, skin adhesives, staplers, extractors or associated tissue accessories. The separate product areas may allow a business to prepare around its strongest portfolio rather than supplying every type of product. Businesses should review their NHS supply capability, product specifications, quality and regulatory documentation, stockholding, distribution arrangements and ability to support deliveries across Scotland. Experience supplying healthcare organisations and demonstrating consistent product availability will be useful when the competition reaches the market. ## Notice Supply of sutures and wound closure products to NHS Scotland. ### Lot Information Absorbable Monofilament Sutures The supply of Absorbable Monofilament Sutures to NHS Scotland Absorbable Ties The supply of Absorbable Ties to NHS Scotland.
