Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh bought medical personnel supply services for self-funding clients at Edinburgh Sports Clinic in Edinburgh. The requirement covered Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) consultant services and physiotherapy services. It is a health service contract, classified under CPV 79625000 for the supply of medical personnel. The University is the buying organisation and also acts as a central purchasing body. The work is focused on providing appropriately qualified clinical personnel to support the Edinburgh Sports Clinic’s services for privately funded patients. This may suit specialist healthcare providers, medical staffing businesses, SEM consultants and physiotherapy providers able to deliver services in Edinburgh and work with a university-run sports clinic.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Scottish rules for health and social care services. There was one bid, submitted electronically, and it came from an SME. Northlight Clinic Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract value is £183,285. The contract is active and was signed on 10 July 2026. The published rationale refers to the specialist nature of the health services, the ability to award qualifying health or social care contracts without seeking offers, and the inclusion of medical personnel supply services within the relevant Scottish schedule. The award was made against one completed lot.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indicator of the University of Edinburgh’s demand for specialist clinical personnel at its sports clinic. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitably qualified Sport and Exercise Medicine consultants and physiotherapists, with the operational capacity to support self-funding patients in a clinical setting. Providers should be able to manage a specialist health service requirement rather than offer general medical staffing alone, and should understand the practical delivery of appointments and physiotherapy services for privately funded clients. The result also shows that an SME healthcare provider can meet this buyer’s requirement. Businesses with established clinical networks, dependable personnel availability and experience delivering sports medicine or physiotherapy services would be well placed to assess similar work from this buyer.
