Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for "Oracle Cloud Credits" within the health industry category. The project is based in Edinburgh, UK, and the procurement stage is now at the Award and Contract stage. The contract was awarded on 1st January 2025 to Oracle Corporation UK Ltd., the single supplier, through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, valued at £330,000. This procurement was necessitated due to the exclusive nature of the services provided by Oracle Corporation, and the contract supports services hosted in Oracle's London and Cardiff data centres.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud computing services, specifically those offering Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Although Oracle Corporation was chosen due to the unique nature of its service offerings, this procurement highlights the demand for specialised cloud solutions in public sector organisations. Businesses with innovative cloud services or those seeking to develop niche solutions for healthcare and data management could find similar tenders of interest in the future, allowing them to align their growth strategies with public sector needs.
