Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland is procuring a virtual platform to support its annual conference. This is a services requirement for the provision of the platform and associated support needed to run the conference remotely or in a hybrid virtual format. The buying organisation is The Common Services Agency, commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland, a Scottish public-sector health body and central purchasing organisation. Delivery is in Scotland. The requirement is classified under CPV 55120000, covering hotel meeting and conference services, although the stated need is specifically a virtual conference platform. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers providing reliable online event platforms, virtual conference environments and the technical services needed to support public-sector conference delivery.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. Bids were due by 18 August 2026 at 1:00pm, with bid opening at the same time; the evaluation period began on 18 August 2026. The contract has an initial duration of 360 days and allows two further renewal periods of 12 months each. Its estimated total value is £150,000. There is one lot. Award decisions are based on technical quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Variants are not permitted, and bids must remain valid for 360 days. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits suppliers with an established virtual events or online conferencing platform, together with the technical capability to support a public-sector annual conference. Businesses should be able to provide a dependable platform for attendees, manage virtual conference delivery and support the buyer through the event lifecycle. The technical element carries greater weight than price, so suppliers able to demonstrate a strong, user-friendly and resilient service are well placed to compete. It may also suit specialist event-technology providers, conference production companies and larger digital service businesses that can combine platform provision with operational support. The requirement is a single service package, making it relevant to suppliers able to take responsibility for the complete virtual conference solution.
