Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by NHS National Services Scotland, known as The Common Services Agency, involved awarding a contract for Oracle Cloud Credits under the project title "Oracle Cloud Credits", which falls within the IT services category. This tender pertains to services involving consulting, software development, internet, and support with the cloud services provided in Oracle's London and Cardiff data centres. The procurement method was limited, offering no prior publication of a call for competition due to exclusive rights protection. This award stage was completed with Oracle Corporation UK Ltd as the sole supplier, and both locations involved are within the UK. The contract dated December 1st, 2025, holds a value of £157,000, while a related contract from 1st January 2025 extends the value to £330,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud computing services, particularly those compatible or leveraging Oracle's suite of applications and services. Businesses with expertise in SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS offerings, especially those familiar with Oracle's ecosystem, could find advantageous growth through collaborations with NHS National Services Scotland. Although the direct procurement method selected Oracle as the supplier due to exclusive service provisions, companies in ancillary services like data transformation, cloud storage, and network application can explore partnerships with Oracle or similar organisations for potential contract extensions or service integrations.
