## Summary

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is procuring a Non-Ambulatory Patient Transport Service through a selective tender process. This contract is aimed at transporting non-ambulatory patients requiring conveyance on stretchers, trolleys, or chairs across various NHS sites in Glasgow and Lanarkshire. The tender period ended on 5th February 2019, and the contract, awarded on 1st May 2020, has a total estimated value of £2,000,000 GBP. Given the enhanced criteria due to risks of infiltration by Serious Organised Crime, it reflects the NHS's commitment to safeguarding services in the healthcare sector, with strict compliance expectations outlined for bidders.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare logistics sector, especially those specializing in patient transport services. Eligible suppliers should possess relevant experience and meet stringent health and safety regulations, including the requirement for staff to pass security vetting processes related to Serious Organised Crime.
