Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Ambulance Service is procuring treatment and rehabilitation services for its own needs and those of Public Services Scotland, supported by an online referral system. The requirement is classified as health services and covers the delivery of treatment and rehabilitation across Scotland. It is a services contract led by Scottish Ambulance Service, a public-sector health organisation based in Edinburgh. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide coordinated rehabilitation services alongside a suitable digital referral route for public-service users and referring organisations. The opportunity is focused on service delivery rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works, and is relevant to healthcare providers, rehabilitation specialists and organisations able to support online referrals as part of an integrated service.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required. Bids had to be submitted by 17 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The evaluation and bid opening were scheduled from that time, and bids were required to remain valid for 90 days. The contract is for 1,080 days, with a possible further 24-month renewal. There is one lot, and variants are not allowed. Award decisions are based on quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%, so technical and service quality are more heavily weighted than cost. A fee applies for access to the procurement documents. The tender is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits established treatment and rehabilitation providers, healthcare organisations and specialist partnerships able to deliver a coordinated service across Scotland. Suppliers should be capable of handling referrals electronically and supporting an online referral system as part of day-to-day service delivery. The quality-led evaluation favours bidders that can demonstrate a strong, dependable service model rather than competing on price alone. Relevant clinical, rehabilitation, referral-management and public-sector delivery experience would help suppliers present a credible offer, although the published requirement does not identify particular professional accreditations. The scale and multi-year term favour organisations with sufficient clinical or operational capacity, robust systems and the resources to maintain consistent delivery throughout the contract and any subsequent renewal period.
