Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife is seeking a provider of primary medical services (CPV 85121000) for patients at High Valleyfield Medical Practice. The requirement covers the delivery of patient-facing general medical care at the practice in High Valleyfield, Fife. This is a health services opportunity for an organisation able to take responsibility for operating or providing primary care services in a local medical practice setting. NHS Fife is the buying organisation and central purchasing body. The procurement is for services rather than goods, construction or equipment. Suppliers should be prepared to explain how they would provide the required care to patients and support the practice’s ongoing service delivery. The service is intended for a substantial, long-term operating period rather than a short intervention.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS Fife invited expressions of interest and offers through an open procedure. There is one lot, with electronic submission required in English and alternative bids not permitted. The tender deadline and bid-opening time were set for 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 3,600 days, and bids must remain valid for 120 days after submission. Evaluation is based on suitability, with the detailed requirements set out in the Invitation to Submit Business Case. Applicants must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the service. The award period was scheduled to start at the tender deadline. Electronic payment and ordering are supported, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits GP practices, primary care providers and healthcare organisations with the clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver core medical services from an established local practice. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate appropriate professional staff, provide the names and qualifications of the proposed team, and prepare a credible business case addressing the buyer’s suitability requirements. The long service period favours suppliers able to sustain staffing, clinical governance, patient access and day-to-day practice operations over many years. Experience running or supporting primary medical services, managing patient-facing teams and maintaining continuity of care would be directly relevant. Organisations should also be comfortable submitting a structured electronic response in English and meeting NHS service delivery expectations.
