## Summary

NHS Highland has completed the procurement process for the "Enhanced Medical Services" contract. This tender, classified under the CPV code 85120000 (Medical practice and related services), involves the provision of various medical services, including ABI, anticoagulation, contraceptive implants, DMARD high-risk drug monitoring, DVT, IUCD, minor injury treatment, minor surgery, and sexual health services. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons and the rural nature of the service locations in the UKM6 region. The contract was awarded on 1st December 2024 with a value of £10,500,000 and includes numerous local GP practices such as Thurso & Halkirk Medical Practice, Nairn Healthcare Group, and others as suppliers.

The contract is tailored for local GP practices in NHS Highland's region, enhancing their service offerings and potentially increasing their patient base. Businesses specialising in medical practice and related services are well-suited to compete and collaborate on such tenders, particularly those capable of delivering high standards of care in rural and technically challenging areas. This procurement, executed under a light-touch regime, underscores the need for specialised and local expertise in delivering essential medical services in sparsely populated regions.
