Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife is seeking a supplier to provide primary medical services to patients at High Valleyfield Medical Practice. The requirement falls within the health services category and covers the operation and delivery of medical practice services for the practice’s patient population. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buying organisation is NHS Fife, which is also acting as the central purchasing body. The work is based at High Valleyfield Medical Practice in Scotland. Suppliers whose core business is general practice, primary care or the management and delivery of NHS medical services are the most relevant audience. The requirement is identified under CPV 85121000, medical practice services.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS Fife invited expressions of interest and offers through an open procedure. Responses had to be submitted electronically in English by 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The contract period is 3,600 days, with no renewal or additional purchase options and no variants permitted. The award process was scheduled to start at 12:00 on 25 September 2026, when bids were also due to be opened. Bids were required to remain valid for 120 days. Selection is based on supplier suitability, with the detailed requirements set out in the Invitation to Submit Business Case and the economic and technical selection criteria. Electronic ordering and payment are supported, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits an established primary care provider able to deliver medical practice services for NHS patients from High Valleyfield Medical Practice. Suppliers should be able to prepare and submit a business case and demonstrate suitability against the buyer’s economic and technical selection requirements. The procurement requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff who will be assigned to the service, so bidders need an appropriately qualified clinical team and the capacity to identify the proposed personnel. Relevant experience in running or delivering primary medical services, together with the governance, staffing and operational capability expected in an NHS setting, will be important. Organisations already delivering general practice or comparable community healthcare services are likely to be well placed to compete.
