Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), involved securing a Business Services Design and Delivery Partner to support various IT service initiatives in the region of Edinburgh, UKM. The primary focus was on consulting and software development services necessary for ERP transformation, with emphasis on developing strategies and supporting the service design before implementing new technology solutions. The procurement falls under the IT services industry and was initially conducted through a mini-competition via the Scottish Government's Digital Technology and Cyber Services DPS. An amendment was made to the contract to incorporate additional services provided between April 2025 and October 2025, under the original supplier, Capgemini, ensuring compliance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The total contract value is GBP 1,551,000, with the contract duration specified for 180 days.

This procurement presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in IT consulting and software development, particularly those with expertise in enterprise resource planning (ERP) transformations and stakeholder engagement for technical solutions. Large-scale IT service providers with a robust track record in government contracts would find themselves well-positioned to compete in such processes, especially when they can offer comprehensive solutions covering strategy development to technical consultancy. The contracting process not only allows businesses to integrate within the public sector but also to expand their influence and develop tailored solutions critical for transformational projects like those within the NHS Scotland framework.
