## Summary

The NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) is currently in the planning stage of procuring an Environmental Management System Tool (EMS) for NHSScotland Boards. This procurement process is aimed at developing and implementing an EMS that addresses environmental impacts, compliance, and promotes continuous improvement in environmental performance. The process is being initiated with a planned Suppliers' Day to be held in the Scottish Central Belt (likely Glasgow or Edinburgh) during the week commencing 11th February 2019, with a deadline for questionnaire submissions set for 25th January 2019. The total estimated value of this contract is £80,000, and interested parties can find additional details on NSS's procurement website.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on environmental management services and tools, particularly those that can deliver innovative and user-friendly solutions suited to the diverse needs of NHSScotland. Companies specialising in software development, consulting in environmental compliance, or those capable of creating partnerships as part of a consortium would be well-positioned to compete for this contract.

## Notice

NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) wishes to procure the services of a contractor[s] to develop and implement an Environmental Management System Tool (EMS) for NHSScotland Boards.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Environmental Management System Tool (EMS) will assist the NHS Boards in demonstrating that they address and minimise environmental impacts, manage legal compliance and will ensure that continuous improvement with regards to environmental performance is made a priority. The EMS will be appropriate for the diverse nature of the NHSScotland estate, the large number of sites and broad range of activities/environmental aspects. The EMS currently used by NHSScotland is known as "Corporate Greencode". Feedback from users is that it is not user friendly, it has not consistently been adopted across all boards and a new tool is required.
