## Summary

NHS Highland, a regional health authority in the United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the "Out of Hours Medical Service for Isle of Jura." The contract involves providing seasonal primary care services, covering both the Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer periods. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically identified with the CPV code 85121100 for general-practitioner services. The contracting process followed a limited procedure without prior publication due to the remote and constrained market capacity on Jura. Both lots were awarded on 2nd March 2026, with Jura Medical Practice and Islay Medical Practice serving as the suppliers, ensuring service delivery under the NHS Highland OOH pathways in collaboration with the Highland Hub and SAS.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for SMEs in the healthcare industry, particularly those specialising in rural and remote service delivery. The contracts offer a reliable revenue stream due to the ongoing need for out-of-hours medical care and the logistical coordination with regional health systems. Businesses with expertise in providing healthcare services in challenging, constrained environments would find this procurement particularly suited to their capabilities. Moreover, engagement in such contracts can enhance an organisation's reputation as a trusted healthcare provider in underserved regions, potentially leading to further opportunities within the NHS framework.
