## Summary

NHS Education for Scotland (NES) has awarded a contract to GatewayC, part of The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, for the production of learning materials aimed at clinicians to facilitate the early diagnosis of cancer. This procurement falls under the category of health and safety services and is conducted using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons that limit competition. The three-year contract, valued at £326,700, was signed on 1st August 2023. The initiative is part of a voluntary ex-ante transparency (VEAT) notice indicating NES’s intent to bridge the educational gaps identified in Scotland, particularly in early cancer detection among primary care professionals. The project covers the UK region coded as UKM.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those focusing on educational materials and digital learning platforms. While competition was limited, businesses that can provide specialised learning materials or similar services might consider such opportunities for future involvement or collaboration. The reliance on GatewayC, an established educational provider across the UK, demonstrates a demand for high-quality, technically sophisticated educational service providers. Companies specialising in healthcare education materials that adapt to evolving medical guidelines, especially those that can offer cost-effective and quick deployment solutions, are ideally suited to engage in similar opportunities to support healthcare professionals across various developmental stages.
