Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), is overseeing a public procurement process for "Managed Transport" services, primarily within the road transport industry. This procurement is currently in the award stage, following the tender phase which had a deadline for submission on 24 November 2021. The services involve the management and provision of distribution services from NHS warehouses located in central Scotland to various Health Boards, including deliveries throughout the Highlands and Islands. The total contract value is £17,500,000, with options for potential extensions of up to two additional years at the Authority's discretion.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transport and logistics, particularly those with experience in managing large-scale distribution operations. Companies capable of demonstrating a minimum annual turnover of £4 million and those experienced in providing similar managed transport services will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses that can leverage community benefits such as employment training and skills development may find even more favourable consideration from NSS in light of their emphasis on supporting local communities through public contracts.
