## Summary

The Scottish Ambulance Service has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Demand, Capacity & Service Redesign Modelling." This initiative falls under the health services category and was conducted in Edinburgh. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and it has now reached the award stage. The contract was signed on 15th March 2019, with a total value of £268,500. This tender aimed at commissioning consultancy services for demand and capacity modelling, with a focus on supporting the Service in optimising ambulance operations and responding effectively to changing demands.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in demand and capacity modelling, particularly those with expertise in health services. Businesses that can demonstrate a robust understanding of simulation modelling systems and have the capability to analyse complex operational scenarios will be well positioned to compete. The nature of the work could also appeal to SMEs looking to establish or expand their foothold within public health procurement, especially those offering innovative solutions for healthcare operational optimisation.

## Notice

SAS intend to commission an expert demand and capacity modelling consultancy firm with access to a sophisticated ambulance simulation modelling system for ongoing modelling services and use of the system. The successful bidder will be expected to assist the Service to predict the impact of large scale internal and external changes that will impact current and predicted performance, operating models and workforce requirements and at a more operational level facilitate predictive demand. SAS also wish to use the ambulance simulation software internally for small scale modelling scenarios.
