## Summary

The recent procurement process initiated by NHS 24 involved a direct award contract to Mistura Enterprise Limited for an annual licence and subscription to the Choice and Medication website. This contract, classified under subscription services, falls within the services category and is located in the UKM region. The award is part of a complete procurement process using a limited procurement method due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, as per Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The contract is expected to be signed on 27th January 2026 following a 10-day standstill period. The intended contract, valued at £137,200, will extend over 48 months, highlighting a strategic choice by NHS 24, based in Glasgow, to enhance its informational resources on mental health conditions and treatments.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in subscription services and software packages, particularly those offering unique or technically specific solutions. Companies with expertise in mental health information systems may find potential growth by aligning with NHS 24’s objectives to provide comprehensive mental health resources. The procurement method suggests a necessity for distinct technical offerings, implying that businesses operating in niche areas with limited competition can benefit. Given the medium monetary value, this contract is particularly attractive for SMEs capable of delivering specialised software and information systems within the public health sector.
