Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh procured medical personnel supply services for self-funding clients at Edinburgh Sports Clinic in Edinburgh. The requirement covers Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) consultant services and physiotherapy services. It is a healthcare services contract managed by the University, which acted as the buyer and central purchasing body. The procurement was arranged as one requirement rather than separate service areas, covering the supply of clinical personnel to support the clinic’s services. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are providers of SEM consultancy, physiotherapy, or broader medical staffing services able to operate in Edinburgh and support patients paying for their own treatment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the social and other specific services provisions. Northlight Clinic Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and has an awarded value of £183,285. There was one bid, submitted electronically by an SME. The requirement was evaluated through the award procedure used for the single lot. The recorded outcome is an active award and active contract; no cancellation or termination is recorded. The published process therefore represents a completed purchase rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates that the University of Edinburgh has a defined requirement for outsourced clinical personnel at Edinburgh Sports Clinic, serving self-funding clients. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitably qualified Sport and Exercise Medicine consultants and physiotherapists, with the clinical governance, professional practice arrangements and operational capacity needed to deliver services reliably in a sports-clinic setting. Relevant experience supporting privately funded or self-paying patients would help demonstrate understanding of the service model. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only a large medical staffing group. Businesses should therefore focus on specialist healthcare capability, clinician availability and dependable local delivery.
