Master Indemnity Agreement (for suppliers)

The Master Indemnity Agreement (MIA) is intended as an umbrella agreement to encompass the requirements of NHS bodies in respect of equipment and other goods supplied:

  • On loan for trial and testing;
  • On loan not for trial and testing;
  • Free issues.

The Master Indemnity Agreement (MIA) is issued and developed by Equipping Services, Health Facilities Scotland and lists the companies currently registered as well as details of their Public and Product Liability Insurance.

Follow the links below to view the MIA Register, print a Master Indemnity Agreement and issue a MIA Delivery Note.

Please download the Master Indemnity Register [PDF - 69Kb] to find the current list of companies registered under the MIA.

To be added to the MIA Register please insert your company details in the fill-in boxes before printing a Master Indemnity Agreement [DOC - 319Kb]. Follow the guidance notes on Information for Suppliers on Joining MIA [PDF - 83Kb] and send your signed agreement to us.

Important legislation and procedure guidance as referred to and forming part of the Terms and Conditions of the MIA are available from the following document links:

Registered Suppliers and NHS Boards can download a copy of the MIA Delivery Note [DOC - 311Kb] to issue a Delivery Note. Guidance on how to use the Delivery Note is also available: MIA Delivery Note Information [PDF - 27Kb]

Please note that a large print version of the MIA Terms and Conditions - Large Print [PDF - 96Kb] is also available.

Please note that when goods are supplied free or on loan by a company that is not covered by the Master Indemnity Agreements, the Standard Form of Indemnity [PDF - 70Kb] must be signed. Therefore, suppliers who work regularly with NHSScotland should consider registering to avoid having to sign separate forms when providing ‘free’ equipment.
