## Summary

Public Services Delivery Scotland, part of the Common Services Agency, is exploring a national vaccination appointments, clinics and scheduling service. The requirement is for a unified digital solution that can support vaccination programmes covering multiple diseases and connect seamlessly with Scotland’s wider digital health ecosystem. This is an information technology services requirement, covering the provision of consulting, software development, internet and support services. The intended service would support national appointment management, clinic scheduling and associated operational processes for public health delivery across Scotland. The buying organisation is a central purchasing body and public-sector health organisation. The work therefore suits suppliers specialising in digital health platforms, national scheduling systems, healthcare technology integration and supporting IT services.

The procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a planned prior information exercise, rather than an invitation to tender. Public Services Delivery Scotland is using the exercise to understand available solutions, help define the scope of any future national procurement and obtain indicative costs. Suppliers are asked to complete and return the specified response by 12:00 on Friday 18 September 2026. The buyer’s indicative date for a future notice is 31 March 2027. The planned process is a single-lot services procurement, covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, with an open procedure expected under the public procurement framework. No contract value, budget, contract duration or award criteria are stated at this planning stage.

This exercise is relevant to established digital health and IT suppliers able to design, implement, integrate and support a national appointments and scheduling platform. Strong candidates are likely to have experience handling complex, high-volume scheduling across multiple programmes, connecting systems within a wider health technology ecosystem and delivering reliable services for public-sector or healthcare users. The requirement may suit suppliers offering configurable software as well as organisations with consulting, software development, internet and managed support capabilities. Businesses with experience of national or multi-site deployments, interoperability, service continuity and operational support should use the planning exercise to explain how their solutions could support vaccination clinics and future multi-disease programmes. It is preparation for a possible future procurement, not an opportunity to bid for a contract now.
