Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland’s Dental Directorate procured specialist training in managing medical emergencies. The service is for vocational trainees, Dental Core Trainees in the Public Dental Service, and dentists and therapists who deliver sedation in general dental practice. It covers five service areas: MME East, North and North-East; MME West; MME Southeast; DCT1 training across Scotland; and dental sedation training. The work is classified as education and training services and is delivered across Scotland, with the first three lots divided by geographical area and the final two focused on particular training fields. The buying organisation is the Common Services Agency, commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland, which is responsible for the procurement for its Dental Directorate.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline and bid opening were both 22 May 2026 at 1pm, and the award decision period began that day. Associated Life Support was selected for all five lots, with contracts signed on 22 July 2026. The individual contract values were £19,500 for Lot 1, £62,400 for Lot 2, £11,700 for Lot 3, £11,700 for Lot 4 and £15,600 for Lot 5. Each contract has a 360-day period and allows two further 12-month renewal periods. Bids were evaluated on technical quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%. Three bids were received for each lot, all submitted electronically; variants were not permitted and English was the submission language.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need specialist expertise in managing medical emergencies and the ability to train dental professionals across both vocational and core training pathways. Experience delivering training for dentists and therapists involved in sedation would be particularly relevant, as would the capability to provide dedicated dental sedation training. The award shows that the buyer can divide delivery between regional service areas and specialist national training fields, so suppliers should be able to organise consistent delivery across Scotland while meeting different audience requirements. The competition attracted three bids per lot, with technical quality carrying greater weight than price. A strong competitor would therefore need a demonstrable training methodology, reliable delivery capacity and evidence of high-quality provision in a dental or closely comparable healthcare setting.
