## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of external medical services to NHS Scotland Health Boards is facilitated by The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland). This tender, classified under the services category with a primary focus on health, is currently in the award stage, having concluded the tender period on 30th November 2022. The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) established for this procurement is open to new providers and seeks to enhance healthcare services by enabling access to medical professionals capable of performing surgical procedures for adults and children. The tender was initiated on 3rd April 2018 with a total estimated value of £30 million.

This opportunity for business growth is particularly well-suited for medical service providers, especially those specialising in surgical operations and extensive healthcare services. By submitting a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), interested parties can demonstrate their capabilities and potentially join the DPS, allowing them to bid for future contracts with NHS Scotland. Given the ongoing demand for healthcare services, companies offering inpatient procedures, outpatient services, and surgical competencies should consider participating to leverage this opportunity within the NHS framework.
