Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by NHS Highland, focuses on the "TW004-21 Healing Process Administration and Mediation Support" under the industry category of services, specifically within the healthcare sector located in Inverness (region UKM6). As of 23rd September 2025, the procurement stage includes award and contract updates, with past key dates such as the contract period from 2nd June 2020 to 1st June 2022. This tender employed a limited procurement method, specifically awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition due to its highly specialised nature requiring skilled mediators familiar with NHS Highland's challenges. The original contract was awarded to CMP, an SME based in Royston, indicating a historical completion status with a signed date of 12th December 2024 and a contract value of £143,760.07 GBP.

This procurement offers meaningful opportunities for businesses with expertise in mediation and investigation, particularly those that cater to healthcare institutions' specialised needs. The involvement of CMP in previous contracts highlights the potential for businesses with strong collaboration history or niche skills to expand within the public sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to engage in technical and authoritative consultancy work stand to benefit, as this tender demonstrates. Firms interested in providing similar services across other regions could leverage this reference of past collaboration and proficiency in meeting NHS Highland's specialised requirements.
