## Summary

NHS Education for Scotland has successfully awarded a framework agreement for scoping and evaluation services within the Nursing, Midwifery & Allied Health Professions Directorate. The process was conducted under an open procedure and specifically targeted the education and training services sector. Although the tender's evaluation process highlighted a preference towards quality (80%) over price (20%), the involved lot was eventually cancelled. However, the contract was awarded to Harlow Consulting Services Ltd with an estimated value of £375,000 and was signed on 25th June 2025. This procurement, governed by the regulations outlined in the CELEX Directive 32014L0024, was conducted electronically, focusing on projects impacting the UK, specifically in the UKM region.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in health, social care, and educational services, allowing them to demonstrate expertise in project evaluation and evidence scoping. The requirement for experienced and qualified suppliers can encourage growth for SMEs, exemplified by the success of Harlow Consulting Services Ltd. With a focus on producing substantive program evaluations, companies that can showcase robust technical competency and innovative approaches are well-suited to compete in this arena, potentially paving pathways into long-term contracts within public sector frameworks.
