## Summary

NHS Grampian, located in Aberdeen, is the contracting authority for a procurement process involving the provision of patient test kits as a service, classified under the industry category of Medical Specialist Services (CPV 85121200). This procurement, conducted using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, was targeted at the Grampian region (UKM50). The process, with its status marked as complete, included a direct award to the local SME, Sciamed Ltd, due to the technical requirement of the service that could only be fulfilled by this supplier. The procurement was finalised with a contract signed on 1st October 2025, valued at £150,450.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the medical services sector, particularly those capable of providing specialised testing equipment. Sciamed Ltd's successful bid, the only one in this process, highlights the potential for highly specialised firms to secure contracts through unique technical capabilities. Businesses able to supply bespoke solutions that meet specific healthcare needs can find opportunities in direct award procedures where competition is limited due to specialised requirements.
