OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife is seeking a provider of primary medical services for patients at The Links Practice in Burntisland, Fife. The requirement is for clinical general practice services delivered at this named practice, under a single contract lot. The relevant service classification is primary healthcare services (CPV 85121000). NHS Fife is the buying organisation and acts as a central purchasing body. The opportunity is therefore aimed at medical practices, primary care organisations and other suitably constituted healthcare providers able to take responsibility for delivering patient-facing primary medical services in Burntisland. The service is classified as a public healthcare service rather than a supply of goods, construction project or general consultancy.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS Fife invited offers through an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted electronically in English by 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids opened at that time. The contract period is 3,600 days, approximately ten years, and bids must remain valid for 120 days after submission. There is one lot and alternative bids are not permitted. Evaluation is based on suitability, with the detailed requirements set out in the Invitation to Submit Business Case. The process includes electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract value is stated in the published tender information.

This opportunity suits an established primary care provider with the clinical capability and organisational capacity to deliver ongoing services to patients at The Links Practice in Burntisland. Bidders need to be able to prepare and submit a business case addressing NHS Fife’s suitability requirements, and to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff who would deliver the contract. It is best suited to medical practices, GP-led organisations, healthcare companies or partnerships with experience managing primary medical services and maintaining a suitably qualified clinical workforce. The long-term service commitment favours suppliers able to sustain staffing, governance, operational management and patient service delivery over an extended period. Responses must be prepared in English and submitted electronically.
