Summary of the contracting process

NHS Tayside has announced a planned procurement for an Autoimmunity Managed Service, under the health industry category. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the opportunity located at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee. The notice, which is purely for prior information, aims to appoint a single vendor to provide a managed service for equipment and reagents necessary for autoantibody detection.

Important dates include the registration of interest by 31st March 2025 and a future notice date on 1st August 2025.
