Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Ambulance Service is procuring treatment and rehabilitation services together with an online referral system. The services are for the Scottish Ambulance Service and Public Services Scotland, supporting the referral of people to appropriate treatment and rehabilitation provision. This is a healthcare services requirement, classified under CPV 85100000. The buying organisation is the Scottish Ambulance Service, based in Edinburgh. Delivery is associated with Scotland. Suppliers may therefore include organisations providing clinical treatment, rehabilitation programmes, referral management or related healthcare support, particularly where these capabilities can be combined with a digital referral platform. The requirement covers both the delivery of treatment and rehabilitation services and the operation or provision of the online system used to refer service users.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 17 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were also scheduled to open at that time. The contract period is 1,080 days, with a further 24-month renewal option. Evaluation is based on quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%. Variants are not allowed, submissions must be in English, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after the deadline. A fee applies for access to the procurement documents. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award period was scheduled to begin on 17 September 2026.

This opportunity suits established healthcare providers able to deliver treatment and rehabilitation services for ambulance-service and public-service users across Scotland. Relevant suppliers are likely to have clinical or rehabilitation teams, suitable referral pathways, systems for managing patient or service-user information, and the operational capacity to handle referrals and deliver services consistently over a substantial contract term. It may also suit partnerships between treatment providers and digital health or referral-system specialists, provided they can present a coherent service. Because quality carries greater weight than price, bidders should be able to demonstrate a strong service model, safe and effective treatment delivery, dependable referral administration and evidence of relevant experience. Suppliers should be prepared to work in English and submit electronically.
