## Summary

The Scottish Government has commissioned a tender titled "Award of Evaluation of Telemedicine Medical Abortion at Home in Scotland," focusing on the services industry. This contract aims to evaluate the effectiveness of current arrangements for early medical abortion at home in Scotland. The tender period is set to run from 25th October 2021 to 24th October 2022, with the award of the contract having been signed on 14th October 2021. The tender was awarded to NHS Lothian, which is based in Edinburgh, with a contract value of £19,832.74, and may be extendable for an additional three months.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare evaluation, medical services, or consultancy, particularly those with expertise in conducting surveys and independent assessments.

As the evaluation project is crucial for future governmental decisions on abortion service provision in Scotland, engagement in this tender could significantly enhance a business's profile and contribute positively to community health outcomes.

## Notice

The Scottish Government has commissioned an independent evaluation of the current coronavirus-related arrangements for provision of early medical abortion at home (EMAH) to ensure that Ministers have sufficiently robust evidence available in relation to experiences in Scotland before making any decisions on whether or not to adopt the current coronavirus-related approach permanently.
