Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian procured outsourced dermatology services for delivery across the NHS Grampian region in Scotland. The requirement covers the provision of clinical dermatology services by an external healthcare provider to support NHS delivery. This is a healthcare services opportunity rather than a supply or construction contract. The buyer is NHS Grampian, based in Aberdeen. The procurement was structured as one lot, covering suppliers able to provide dermatology services within the NHS Grampian region. The relevant service classification is dermatology services (CPV 85121282). The requirement included electronic ordering, electronic payment and electronic submission arrangements, with services delivered by appropriately qualified clinical staff. It therefore suits providers with the medical workforce, governance arrangements and operational capacity to deliver outsourced dermatology care for an NHS health board.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 30 April 2026 at 12:00, after the deadline was amended from 29 April, and award activity began on 1 May 2026. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, but an active award and contract are recorded for Medinet Clinical Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and has a value of £900,000. The stated contract period is 360 days, with two optional 12-month renewals. Evaluation was weighted 80% technical quality and 20% commercial cost. Three bids were received, all from SMEs, submitted electronically. Staff names and qualifications were required, and bids had to be in English. Eligibility included relevant professional-body membership, two years of financial accounts and examples of comparable work from the previous three years.

This procurement demonstrates NHS Grampian demand for outsourced dermatology delivered by an external clinical services provider. A credible future competitor would need access to dermatology clinicians and the capacity to provide named staff, with all relevant personnel holding full membership of professional bodies such as the GMC or NMC. Any licence restrictions would need to be identified and agreed with NHS Grampian in writing. Suppliers would also need a sound financial position evidenced by two years of accounts, and relevant delivery examples from the previous three years, including public or private-sector clients. The competition attracted three SME bids, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist providers as well as larger healthcare organisations. Strong technical quality performance was more important than price.
