This is a healthcare services requirement, covering the operation or provision of medical practice services within a primary care setting. The service is intended for patients using The Links Practice, with delivery in Burntisland, Fife. The requirement is being bought by NHS Fife, the health board responsible for the procurement. The opportunity may suit GP practices, primary care providers, healthcare organisations and other suitably established medical service providers able to take responsibility for patient-facing primary medical services. The procurement relates to one service package rather than a range of separately described workstreams, and the buyer has identified the service using the medical practice services classification. The process has reached tender: NHS Fife invited offers through an open procedure, with responses submitted electronically. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 25 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, when the bid opening and award period are also scheduled to begin. The resulting contract has a duration of 3,600 days, with no renewal or additional purchase options. Bids must remain valid for 120 days and be submitted in English; variants are not allowed. Evaluation requires suppliers to meet the suitability requirements set out in the Invitation to Submit Business Case, alongside economic and technical selection criteria. The buyer allows electronic ordering, electronic payment and electronic invoicing. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This opportunity suits suppliers with the clinical capability and organisational capacity to provide primary medical services to patients through a named practice. Potential bidders should be able to prepare and submit a business case, demonstrate suitability against the buyer’s economic and technical selection requirements, and provide the names and professional qualifications of staff who will deliver the service. It is relevant to established GP practices, primary care organisations, healthcare providers and capable partnerships with the personnel and governance arrangements needed for a long-term patient service. Suppliers should be comfortable managing patient-facing medical provision from The Links Practice in Burntisland and supporting the associated electronic administrative processes. The requirement is best suited to providers able to evidence both clinical workforce capability and the financial and technical strength to sustain the service over its full term. ## Notice Fife Health Board (more commonly known as NHS Fife) ("NHS Fife") placed an advertisement in the Public Contracts Scotland Portal on the 17 September 2026 seeking expressions of interest from any parties interested in providing primary medical services to patients at The Links Practice Burntisland. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Fife Health Board (more commonly known as NHS Fife) ("NHS Fife") placed an advertisement in the Public Contracts Scotland Portal on the 17 September 2026 seeking expressions of interest from any parties interested in providing primary medical services to patients at The Links Practice Burntisland ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/088186-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS Fife | | Locality | DUNFERMLINE | | Postcode area | Kirkcaldy | | Postcode | KY12 0SU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Fife | | Electoral ward | Dunfermline North | | Westminster constituency | Dunfermline and Dollar | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85121000 - Medical practice services ## Release History - 17 Sep 2026 at 12:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/088186-2026 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nhsfife.org - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000843320 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=843320 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00185 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
