## Summary

The University of Dundee recently completed an open tender process for the "Medical staff Manual Handling" services, classified under the medical education services industry category (CPV code: 80320000). This procurement process was to provide qualified staff and necessary resources for delivering manual handling training to medical personnel, primarily in Dundee, within the UKM71 region. The procurement, covered by the GPA, was initiated on 15 January 2026 and culminated in an award on 9 March 2026. Despite the cancellation of some lot elements, the contract was awarded to NHS Tayside with a signed contract value of £580,000, focusing on quality and price with a 40:60 ratio respectively. The procurement process adhered to the legal basis of CELEX 32014L0024.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in medical education services who are registered with the Scottish Manual Handling Passport Scheme (SMHPS). Businesses equipped to provide NHS-standard manual handling equipment and facilities, along with certified trainers, would be ideally suited to compete for future contracts of this nature. The requirement for services to be delivered in both Dundee and Fife suggests scope for regional providers. The open procedure and emphasis on electronic submission indicate a streamlined process accessible to qualified SMEs, as evidenced by one SME bid in this procurement cycle.
