Summary of the contracting process

NHS Education for Scotland recently completed the procurement process for the "C002103 Pre-Hospital Care Training and Education for Remote and Rural Practitioners using Simulation". This tender, categorised under education and training services, has been awarded to BASICS Scotland. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, and the contract, valued at GBP 994,272, was signed on 21 May 2025. The services will be delivered in the region of UKM, focusing on enhancing skills for remote and rural healthcare practitioners through simulation-based training. The procurement aimed at delivering quality technical education prioritised a 75% weight on technical criteria and 25% on price. The initial tender phase started on 4 December 2024 with a submission deadline set for 13 January 2025.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training and educational services, particularly those with experience in healthcare and simulation technologies. Companies that focus on innovative educational practices and have a regional presence in the UK could particularly benefit. The focus on remote and rural healthcare suggests that firms with expertise in delivering education remotely or enhancing the skills of geographically dispersed practitioners would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Furthermore, the open procedure used encourages competition, offering a fair chance for SMEs and other competent educational service providers to engage with public sector contracts, thereby fostering business growth and expansion in the healthcare education sector.
