OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Highland is seeking to deliver 24/7 Healthcare in Police Custody and Forensic Medical Services for individuals within the Lochgilphead catchment area as part of the Argyll and Bute Health & Social Care Partnership. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a tender that was initiated on 20th January 2021. The contract, valued at £50,000, was awarded to Lochgilphead Medical Centre and is set to take effect from 1st April 2021, lasting for one year. The procurement method used for this tender was a limited procedure, allowing for a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition due to a lack of alternative suppliers for the service required.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in forensic medical examinations or 24/7 healthcare provision. Companies that can offer specialised services and demonstrate capability to operate within the regulatory standards of the healthcare sector would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders in the future. Engaging with NHS Highland and understanding their specific needs could lead to further business opportunities within the healthcare framework, especially given the unique requirements of services in police custody scenarios.
