Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed the procurement process for the "SNOMED Terminology Server" project, which falls within the IT services industry category. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, allowing for streamlined execution. The awarded contract, valued at £517,000, was signed on 3rd May 2022. The server is intended for use in implementing a structured clinical vocabulary in electronic health records across NHS Scotland, initially benefiting select users in a discovery exercise.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on IT services, particularly those specialising in software development and healthcare technology solutions. Companies that can deliver innovative software solutions tailored for the healthcare sector would find this tender particularly relevant, and those with capabilities to support terminology integration within electronic health records may have a competitive advantage. Given that the procurement occurred within a framework agreement initially set by NHS Digital, suppliers operating under similar frameworks may seek to explore further opportunities within the NHS framework, thereby fostering business growth in the healthcare technology market.
