The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland, in short
Who does The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland award contracts to?
Across 2,999 contracts recorded since 2021, The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland has used 967 different suppliers. The most frequent are BIFFA Waste Services Ltd (1,276 contracts), Enva Scotland Limited (1,010 contracts), SWRnewstar (900 contracts).
What does The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland buy?
Its most active procurement categories are environmental and waste services, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment and lighting. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland contracts come up for renewal?
No contracts awarded by The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland currently have a recorded end date within the next 18 months. Not every award notice publishes an end date, so this is a floor rather than a complete picture.
How much does The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £1, across the 2,997 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services ("NSS")) Scotland notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

Other NHS bodies based in Scotland with a page11
Same type of body, by the address on their own notices. Most published awards first.
How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 9 November 2025 to 8 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards have fallen in each of the last two years. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 3,008, 442 and 328. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 119 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 9 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 21 Oct 2026 (2 weeks ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 2,997 of 2,999 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
