Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, part of the NHS Scotland procurement arrangements, bought renewal of a licence for an environmental management system. The system supports NHS boards in tracking compliance with environmental legislation through a compliance register and managing an Aspects and Impacts Register. It also provides a document repository for policies, action plans, objectives and targets, procedures, processes and supporting evidence. This is a software and related support service rather than construction or physical equipment. The requirement was for NHS use across Scotland. The system is the Rio ESG Limited Environmental Management System, supplied through the Scottish Government’s Software Value Added Reseller Services framework. Businesses operating in environmental compliance software, ESG systems, document management or public-sector software supply would find the subject matter relevant.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a call-off from the Scottish Government’s Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, using an open procedure. One bid was received, submitted electronically by an SME, and the contract was awarded to Computacenter for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £46,772. The buyer selected a supplier for renewal of the Rio ESG environmental management system licence. The published outcome records one supplier and one award, rather than separate awards for multiple providers. No contract duration is stated in the available procurement information, so the signing date is the only contract milestone provided.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Scotland for specialist environmental management software that combines regulatory compliance tracking, environmental aspects and impacts management, structured document storage and evidence management. Suppliers will need a credible product covering these functions in one system, together with the ability to support policies, action plans, objectives, targets, procedures and processes used by NHS boards. Experience supplying software to public-sector or healthcare organisations would help a competitor demonstrate understanding of governance, auditability and multi-board use. The requirement was fulfilled through a Scottish Government software value-added reseller framework, so businesses seeking similar work should understand that route and maintain the capability to supply or support established specialist platforms. A suitable competitor may be an SME software reseller or implementation partner with environmental compliance expertise.
