Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), has completed a procurement process for Data Center Hosting services. This contract, initiated under a selective procurement method described as a restricted procedure, targets the health industry category and is set to operate within Edinburgh, Scotland. Key aspects include colocation services across two separate sites for NHS NSS infrastructure, with migration services and connectivity provided. The contract, valued at £1,608,810, was awarded to DataVita Ltd and was signed on 27th April 2026. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract now active, and the process was part of the Scottish Government Cloud and Hosting Services Framework, aiming to ensure best value through competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on IT infrastructure, data hosting, and cloud services, particularly those equipped to manage large-scale migration and colocation services. Companies that can offer high-quality services, remarkably within the health sector, stand to benefit. With an emphasis on quality criteria accounting for 85% of the decision and price making up 15%, businesses that excel in high-value service delivery are well-suited to succeed in similar opportunities.
