Summary of the contracting process

NHS Education for Scotland has awarded a contract for the continued provision of actors for various directorates within its organisation. The procurement focuses on services within the health industry and covers locations throughout Scotland (Region UKM). As of 6th November 2024, the procurement stage has reached completion, and the contract has been signed. This award, valued at GBP 62,300, falls outside the scope of the standard directive and was conducted via a limited procurement method without the prior publication of a call for competition. This strategy facilitates the inclusion of actors in a variety of simulation and training scenarios aimed at enhancing educational programmes. The procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in role-play and training simulations, particularly those with experience in health sector education. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as PHS Pro-Motion and Interact Roleplay, along with larger companies like Birdsong Communication Skills, are well-suited to provide such services. Businesses with actors experienced in diverse training environments and those that can contribute to the development of realistic and inclusive scenarios will find this contract particularly beneficial. The ongoing need for actors in workshops, assessments, and events ensures continuous engagement and potential long-term partnerships with NHS Education for Scotland.
