## Summary

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), on behalf of NHS Scotland, procured continued support for Oracle software under an existing Oracle Unlimited Licence Agreement. The licensed products underpin a range of critical services: primary-care payment systems for GPs, dentists, optometrists and pharmacists; blood and tissue collection, storage and distribution; NHS Scotland purchasing and supply systems; management information and national datasets, including Scottish Morbidity Records; and bespoke applications used by health boards. The requirement is software licence support and associated IT support services, rather than a new software implementation. Delivery is across NHS Scotland services in Scotland. The buyer holds perpetual licences to use the products, and the purchase covers ongoing support for those products.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Ltd. The buyer exercised an extension option under the existing licence agreement using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The stated basis was that Oracle was the sole supplier with exclusive rights in the software. The sole award covers one lot, with price as the stated award criterion; one bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active. Its value is £335,000, stated to cover a 12-month contract term. The underlying arrangement provides for support to continue on an annually renewable basis, subject to annual support charges.

This requirement is most relevant to Oracle and suppliers with authorised rights and the technical capability to support Oracle products already embedded in complex, critical NHS services. Credible providers would need to maintain dependable support across systems used for primary-care payments, blood and tissue services, national procurement, health datasets and board-specific applications, while working within established NHS Scotland operations. The award shows that continuity of support for existing licensed products, rather than replacement or fresh implementation, was central to this purchase. The route and stated exclusive-rights rationale indicate that suppliers without the necessary software rights are unlikely to be positioned to meet the same requirement. Relevant competitors should be able to demonstrate Oracle-specific support expertise and the capacity to sustain services across multiple NHS Scotland functions.

## Notice
