## Summary

Fife Council bought medical aids for use in Fife. The requirement covers the supply of medical aids, classified as medical equipment (CPV 33196000). It is a goods procurement, with one lot covering the supply requirement. The published description does not break the aids down into product types or set out quantities, so the opportunity is broadly relevant to manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of medical aids rather than a specific product niche. The contract is delivered in Fife; the council is based in Glenrothes. The procurement formed part of a framework agreement, providing for supply through an arrangement involving multiple suppliers rather than a single exclusive provider.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. Fife Council awarded the single lot to 20 suppliers: Arjo UK Ltd, Care and Independence Ltd, Careflex Ltd, Drive DeVilbiss, Enable Access Ltd, Etac Ltd, Frontier Therapeutics Ltd, Invacare Ltd, Jenx Ltd, Langham, Leckey, Lisclare Limited, MBM Healthcare Fife Ltd, Moorings Mediquip Ltd t/a Wheelchair Care, Nottingham Rehab Limited, Prism Medical, Smirthwaite Limited, SmitCare Limited, The Helping Hand Company and Trulife. The framework contract value is £1.8 million. The contract was signed on 15 April 2024; no contract end date or duration is recorded. Evaluation gave equal weight to quality and price, each accounting for 50%.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand from Fife Council for medical aids, procured through a multi-supplier framework. The breadth of the 20 appointed suppliers indicates that suppliers with a range of medical-aid products and the ability to serve the council's requirements could be relevant when this requirement returns to market. A credible competitor would need to offer products that meet quality requirements while remaining price competitive, since both factors carried equal evaluation weight. The award attracted 30 bids, including six from small and medium-sized enterprises, showing competition from a mix of supplier sizes. Businesses specialising in medical-aid supply, including those able to serve customers across Fife, can use this award as a guide to the buyer, route and competitive balance. No specific accreditations or technical capabilities are stated.
