Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "NP610325 Immersive Labs" contract was conducted by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), based in Edinburgh, UK. This tender falls under the health industry category and was intended for delivery in Scotland. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract details finalised on 1 April 2025. The open procedure procurement method was employed, allowing broad participation in the tendering process, and the procurement covered services, specifically immersive labs licences under the SVAR framework with Computacenter. The contract is valued at £301,000 and is governed by public law and regulations applicable to public contracts in Scotland, including possible recourse through the Edinburgh Sheriff Court if necessary.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies capable of providing services in the health sector and those interested in working within a public framework like the SVAR. Although this particular contract was awarded to Computacenter, a large-scale supplier based in Edinburgh, the nature of the open procurement method suggests that similar tenders could be accessible to diverse businesses, including SMEs and potentially foreign operators seeking to enter the UK's healthcare technology market. Participation in frameworks such as these can provide networking opportunities, business expansion and a chance to demonstrate value to prominent public sector buyers like NHS National Services Scotland.
