Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian procured outsourced dermatology services for delivery across the NHS Grampian region. The requirement is a clinical healthcare service supporting the NHS organisation’s dermatology provision, rather than the supply of equipment or medicines. The buyer is NHS Grampian, based in Aberdeen, and service delivery is connected with its regional NHS operations. The opportunity covered one lot and was open to any supplier able to provide the services within the region. It is relevant to dermatology providers, clinical outsourcing companies and healthcare organisations with suitably qualified medical staff and the capacity to deliver services for an NHS health board. The contract is classified under CPV 85121282, covering dermatology services.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. The tender deadline was 29 April 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening and the award period beginning on 1 May 2026 at 08:00. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Medinet Clinical Services Ltd was awarded the contract for the single lot. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and has a value of £900,000. Its stated duration is 360 days, with two optional 12-month renewals. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 80% and commercial cost at 20%; variants were not allowed. Bidders had to submit in English, and bids were valid for 90 days. NHS Grampian required staff names and qualifications, with electronic payment and ordering available.

This award shows established demand from NHS Grampian for outsourced dermatology delivered across its region, at a substantial service scale and through a formal open competition. A credible future competitor would need an operational model capable of providing reliable clinical capacity for an NHS health board, with appropriately qualified dermatology staff and clear control over professional registration. All staff must hold full membership of relevant professional bodies, such as the GMC or NMC, and any licence restrictions must be discussed and agreed in writing with NHS Grampian. Strong evidence would include comparable healthcare service delivery for public or private clients, supported by examples from the previous three years. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate financial standing through two years of accounts and compete strongly on technical quality as well as cost.
