Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), has concluded a contract for courier services to handle document and parcel delivery throughout Scotland including the Highlands and Islands. The contract, valued at £800,000, is active following an award on 1st July 2026, as part of an open procurement procedure. The courier services fall under the services category, with a focus on supporting National Health Boards across Scotland. CitySprint (UK) Ltd has been awarded this contract, which will also provide GP Record Transfer services, until 30th June 2030, with options for further extension.

This tender presents substantial growth prospects for businesses operating within courier service provision. Ideal candidates are those capable of offering reliable, same-day, and next-day delivery services, critical for meeting NHS Health Board requirements. Businesses in the logistics and transportation industry with capabilities to fulfil such extensive delivery demands, 24/7 operations, and those familiar with delivering within both urban and remote areas of Scotland, are well-positioned to engage and grow by securing such contracts. Opportunities for further extensions of the existing contract may present additional competitive chances for qualified bidders in subsequent tenders.
