Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, acting for NHS Scotland, procured specialist pelvic mesh removal services for eligible patients. The service covers clinically led assessment, treatment and pelvic mesh removal procedures, delivered in line with clinical requirements and under the Light Touch Regime for health services. It is a specialist healthcare service rather than a general hospital or facilities contract. Delivery is across Scotland. The buying organisation is a central public-sector procurement body supporting NHS Scotland. The requirement is therefore most relevant to healthcare providers, specialist surgical teams and clinical organisations able to assess and treat patients requiring complex pelvic mesh removal, with suitable facilities and arrangements for patient care. The procurement is classified under CPV 85100000, covering health and medical services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the specialist nature of the service and the stated absence of competition for technical reasons. Two suppliers were awarded the single lot: Spire Healthcare and Vaginal Surgery & Urogynecology, LLC. The active contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and has an awarded value of £100,000. Two bids were received, including one from an SME and one from a non-EU supplier; both bids were submitted electronically. The agreement may be extended beyond its initial term where service requirements and available contract value allow, subject to its terms and the maximum estimated value.

This award shows demand from NHS Scotland for providers able to deliver highly specialised pelvic mesh removal rather than routine surgical services. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable clinical expertise in pelvic mesh assessment and removal, experienced specialist surgeons and multidisciplinary clinical capability covering assessment, treatment and follow-up care. Appropriate facilities and the capacity to treat eligible patients in accordance with NHS clinical requirements would also be central to a credible offer. The award rationale indicates that technical expertise, relevant experience and facilities were decisive, so providers would need evidence of those capabilities and a service model that can support clinically led care across Scotland. The participation of both a large healthcare provider and an SME indicates that specialist capability, rather than size alone, is relevant.

Procurement Information

The contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to the specialist nature of the service and the requirement for a provider with the necessary clinical expertise, experience and facilities to deliver pelvic mesh removal services. Following assessment of the service requirement, it was concluded that competition was absent for technical reasons and that the services could be provided only by the selected economic operator. The award was therefore made without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with the applicable procurement regulations and the rationale documented within the procurement process.
