Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, part of Scotland’s public health service, appointed a design and delivery partner for its NITC SIAM programme. The requirement covers specialist commercial, technical, financial, legal, delivery and business change support. Lot 1 covered establishing an effective new legal instrument for SIAM contract delivery and safely exiting a legacy technical contract. Lot 2 covered service redesign and business change. This is a professional services opportunity focused on service integration and management, contract transition, organisational change and technical delivery rather than the supply of goods. The work is for PSD Scotland and is delivered in Scotland, with the buyer based in Edinburgh. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. Gartner was selected for both lots. Lot 1 has an active contract valued at £2,000,000; Lot 2 has an active contract valued at £400,000. Both contracts were signed on 27 July 2026. The stated term is 36 months. Lot 1 received four electronic bids and Lot 2 received seven electronic bids. The two lots were awarded separately: Lot 1 combines the new legal instrument and legacy technical-contract exit, while Lot 2 covers service redesign and business change. The published outcome therefore records two active contracts with distinct scopes and values, rather than a single contract. The procurement relates to services under CPV 72000000.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to combine senior commercial, technical, financial, legal, delivery and business-change capability rather than offer a single specialist service. Relevant experience would include service integration and management programmes, designing or supporting complex public-sector contracts, transitioning away from legacy technical arrangements, service redesign and organisational change. Lot 1 favours teams able to manage legal and commercial instruments alongside technical exit and delivery risks. Lot 2 favours demonstrable service-improvement, operating-model and change-management expertise. The buyer’s use of a two-lot structure shows that suppliers may compete through either integrated contract-transition support or business-change delivery, while the bid volumes indicate competition from established international providers. A strong future competitor would need sufficient multidisciplinary capacity to support a major public-service transformation.
