Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland) commissioned an education package for general practice speciality training registrars (GPSTRs) across Scotland. The service supports the education of doctors undertaking specialist general practice training. It is a health-related professional education service, rather than a supply of clinical equipment or direct patient care. The stated delivery area is Scotland; the buyer is based in Edinburgh. The requirement was grouped as one lot and covered the education package as a whole. GP Update Limited was selected to provide the service. This procurement is relevant to organisations delivering structured medical education or training for postgraduate doctors, particularly those with experience supporting general practice speciality training in Scotland.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. PSD Scotland used an open procedure for a single lot. GP Update Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and is valued at £848,160. The stated contract period is 360 days, with provision for two further 12-month renewal periods. Bids were assessed on a weighted basis: technical quality counted for 60% and price for 40%. Two bids were recorded, both from small or medium-sized enterprises, and both were submitted electronically. The tender deadline was 29 May 2026 at 13:00. Submissions had to be in English, and variants were not permitted. The requirement was covered by the WTO Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates demand from PSD Scotland for a sizeable, structured education service for general practice speciality training registrars. A credible competitor would need to design and deliver relevant postgraduate medical education across Scotland, with the operational capacity to serve a national trainee cohort and maintain consistent provision throughout the contract. The evaluation placed greater weight on technical quality than price, so evidence of a robust educational approach, suitable content and delivery capability would be important alongside competitive costs. The successful supplier was GP Update Limited; two SMEs also submitted bids, indicating that this requirement was accessible to specialist providers rather than limited to the largest training organisations. Suppliers with established general practice education expertise and the capacity to support renewal-length delivery would be well placed when this buyer next procures the same requirement.
