Summary of the contracting process

The latest procurement process organised by NHS Education for Scotland involves a framework to provide additional educational support for their Enhanced Psychological Practice Programme. This contract, worth £65,000, is primarily set in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. The industry category is focused on education and training services, and the procurement stage is currently at the award stage. The process follows an open procedure method, resulting in the award being actively allocated to an independent sole trader. The framework initially lasts for one year with options for annual extensions up to a further two years, offering flexibility for ongoing service provision.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in psychological practice interventions, particularly those with expertise in primary care mental health settings. Given the open procurement method, it caters well to SMEs, allowing smaller providers to compete on an even playing field. Companies with robust technical and cost-effective capabilities stand a good chance of success, making this an ideal growth opportunity for businesses in the education and training sector focused on health services. Suppliers joining this framework can enhance their portfolio by working with a prominent public health entity, potentially leading to more long-term engagements.
