OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Lothian Health Board is seeking to procure Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) Services across NHS Lothian sites, covering approximately 100,000 items across 118 locations. This procurement falls under the services category, with the procedure using an open method. Initially active, the tender process commenced with a contract notice dated 30 May 2025, leading to a tender period closing on 9 July 2025. The planned duration for the contract is 36 months, with potential for extension. Although the tender was initially active, the most recent update indicates it was cancelled during the award process. The opportunity, initially supervised by Lothian Health Board, was to be conducted via electronic submission on the Public Contracts Scotland platform, serviced by the Edinburgh-based organisation.

This tender offered significant business growth potential, particularly for companies specialised in electrical equipment maintenance and testing, necessitating qualifications such as City & Guilds Electrical Equipment Maintenance and Testing (2377). Businesses already possessing a robust health and safety policy, environmental management systems, and relevant technical and economic records could have been competitive candidates. Opportunities to fulfil community benefits were to be included, making the project particularly appealing to businesses eager to engage with and contribute to community and local development. Though this particular opportunity concluded unsuccessfully, similar future tenders could represent lucrative prospects for certified service providers in the health industry sector across Scotland.
