This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process entails an award by Dundee City Council for the provision of NHS Speech and Language Therapy services. The contract was awarded to NHS Tayside, marking a continuation of a previously established arrangement, due to the specialist nature of the services. This procurement falls under the social care industry category, located in Dundee in the UKM71 region. Throughout the process, limited procurement methods were utilised, with the rationale being the extension of an existing contract. The contract was signed on the 1st of April, 2024, aligning with the procurement stage marked as complete. The total value of the contract is £235,838 GBP.

This tender offers a business growth opportunity primarily for large-scale enterprises capable of providing specialised healthcare services. Small and medium-sized enterprises may find it challenging to compete due to the continuation nature and requirements of specialist service provision under a limited procurement procedure. It is particularly suited for businesses already established in or familiar with the healthcare industry, given the contract’s specific focus on speech and language therapy services. The procurement process prioritises maintaining continuity in service provision, which benefits large organisations like NHS Tayside that can efficiently deliver these services in Dundee.
