Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lothian is seeking bids for a contract under the title "Volunteer Services at The Royal Edinburgh Hospital," which falls within the psychiatric hospital services category, and is part of the broader health industry. The procurement process is currently complete, having concluded on January 21, 2021, with an active award to Volunteer Edinburgh for a project valued at £100,000. This open tender aimed to recruit, train, and support volunteers to enhance patient outcomes at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The delivery location specified is the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Edinburgh, with the contract running for 12 months, commencing on April 1, 2021, as an interim measure before a more substantial service review in late 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the volunteer management sector and those providing volunteer training and support services. Companies that focus on health-related community engagement, as well as organisations experienced in working with volunteers, especially those supervising individuals facing barriers to participation, would be well-suited to compete. Given the emphasis on quality strategies, capacity, and cost in the award criteria, businesses that can effectively demonstrate innovative approaches to engaging with volunteers and improving patient experiences will have a competitive edge in this procurement process.

As part of this process, it is our intention over the coming year to review volunteering services at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and Associated Services prior to making decisions about priorities and how best to achieve them. At this stage we anticipate the review resulting in a revised service specification with procurement commencing in late 2021.

The successful bidder will be required to - - Identify and support meaningful volunteering opportunities for in-patients of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and Associated Services, enabling patients to experience the benefits of volunteering. -Use a demand led recruitment approach to recruit, train and place volunteers in roles to support positive health outcomes for patients and improve the visitor experience at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and Associated Services. -Support volunteers with additional barriers to volunteering to engage in the wider Lothian Health Board volunteer programme through structured time limited support. The successful bidder will operate from a dedicated Volunteer Hub at McKinnon House at The Royal Edinburgh Hospital. Some travel within Lothian will be required.
