## Summary

NHS Highland has awarded a contract to TAIN & DISTRICT MEDICAL GROUP for the provision of medical support to County Community Hospital in Invergordon. The service includes medical support for 28 inpatient beds during the hours of 08.00 to 18.00, Monday to Friday, excluding GP public holidays, protected learning afternoons, and other Out Of Hours periods. The attendance on the ward by a GP will be for a maximum of 10 hours per week, including participation in the Consultant ward round on Tuesday mornings. The contract, valued at £90,000, was signed on 14th October 2024 following an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to a lack of submissions in previous tender opportunities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses providing medical services and related support. SMEs that specialise in medical practice and hospital services, particularly within the region of UKM6, are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging with NHS Highland can offer sustained business growth and stability, leveraging the procurement needs of public health institutions. The limited competition process indicates an aversion to extensive tendering, presenting a streamlined entry point for qualified providers.
