## Summary

NHS Highland is currently engaged in awarding a contract for the provision of 24/7 Healthcare in Police Custody and Forensic Medical Services within the Rothesay catchment area, specifically for the Argyll and Bute Health & Social Care Partnership. The procurement process is at the Award stage, having completed the necessary tendering actions as of February 5th, 2021. This limited procurement method was undertaken without prior publication due to market research indicating a sole supplier for the required services, with a total contract value of £50,000. The relevant location for this procurement is Rothesay, within the UKM63 region.

This contact presents significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare and forensic medical sectors, particularly those with the capacity to provide medical examiner services. Firms that are well-suited to compete in this limited tendering environment include established healthcare providers and organisations with expertise in forensic medical services, especially those familiar with the requirements of police custody healthcare.
