## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority, on behalf of Police Scotland, has completed the procurement process for Expert Witness Services within the Professional Services category. The procurement focused on acquiring expert medical witness services from professional neurosurgeons to assist in a legal investigation involving Police Scotland and the Crown & Procurator Fiscal Service. Located in the region of UKM, the open procedure was conducted under the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015, with the tender fully completed and the contract awarded on 21 January 2026, for a total value of up to GBP 999,999. The initial tender, initiated in October 2025, was concluded after electronic submissions from small and medium enterprises, aligning with a competitive bid value of GBP 222,222, with a reservation for potentially increased expenditure.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in the medical and legal professional services sectors, particularly those specialising in expert witness services. SMEs with neurosurgical expertise and experience in judicial reviews can find avenues to expand their portfolio through such contracts. Participating firms like TMLEP, an SME based in the UK, and the electronic bid process highlight the growing inclusivity and competitiveness suited to smaller, highly specialised companies looking to engage in public sector contracts. Businesses meeting the specified technical, professional, and financial criteria have room to grow by participating in similar tenders, where high-quality technical services are prioritised over cost in the award criteria.
