## Summary

The contracting process for the "HH032-25-TW25 Patient & Staff Air Travel" contract, managed by NHS Highland, has reached the award stage. This procurement focuses on providing travel services within the Argyll & Bute region, including air transport from Islay, Tiree, and Campbeltown for patients and staff. The procurement, classified under the "services" category of the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV), is characterised by a specialised service provision primarily due to technical reasons, with Loganair Limited being the contracted supplier. The total contract value is GBP 595,000, and it was officially signed on 28th January 2026. The procurement process followed a limited method without prior publication due to the absence of competition in these specific air routes. 

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of air transport services, especially those capable of operating in niche or technically demanding routes that require specialised skills or services. Although Loganair Limited is the current supplier due to technical monopoly, other aviation services companies may consider exploring similar service niches or future opportunities where specific capabilities or innovative solutions are required. This contract demonstrates a valuable case study for companies looking to engage in public procurement where limited competition exists due to specialised service demands.
