## Summary

The procurement process, led by Scottish Futures Trust Limited, revolves around the title "Private Sector Development Partner for the North Territory." This initiative falls under the general public services category and is located in the North Territory of Scotland, encompassing areas served by various NHS trusts and councils. Currently, the procurement is in the Award stage, having been signed on 18 August 2021 with an estimated total capital value of £1.2 billion over the life of the partnership. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses involved in public and community infrastructure development, particularly in the health and local government sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in delivering services related to public infrastructure, construction, facilities management, and professional consulting. Engaging with the Scottish Futures Trust and hub North Scotland Ltd can open doors to future project collaborations, given that numerous projects are anticipated over the next four years, potentially valued at £530 million.

This notice contains further detail of the ongoing use of the TPA in line with the originally advertised scope. The Participants are the North Territory, comprising NHS Grampian, NHS Highland, NHS Orkney, NHS Shetland, NHS Western Isles; Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Comhairle nan Eilean Sar, The Moray Council, Orkney Islands Council, Shetland Islands Council; Grampian Fire and Rescue Service; Grampian Police; Northern Constabulary; Highlands and Islands Fire & Rescue Service; Scottish Ambulance Service, all having places of business in the geographical area of the North hub Territory and their statutory successors and any organisation created as a result of a reorganisation or organisational change of the contracting authorities.

### Procurement Information

This notice provides an update on progress under the TPA to ensure transparency of the remaining pipeline of projects and to direct interested persons to the ongoing publicity relating to the hub programme. Each project is the subject of a separate Project Agreement which is entered into in accordance with the terms of the TPA. As part of the original competitive procurement process the Contract Notice stated an estimated, cumulative capital value of the projects to be awarded under the TPA being in the region of 500m GBP in the first ten years, and approximately 600m GBP for the life of the TPA including those projects awarded in the first ten years. These were stated to be anticipated values on the basis of then current estimates only. This was an indication of value provided for information purposes. The procurement documents made clear that the initial detail provided of the project pipeline was indicative for information only and that there was no guarantee or commitment as to the facilities that would be developed through the TPA. The full scope and extent of the partnering services and the TPAs was clearly delineated elsewhere in the Contract Notice and in the accompanying procurement documents, and was not linked to or to any extent constrained by the indicative cumulative estimates of value provided. The original competitive procurement process did not envisage that the agreement to be awarded would contain any limit or any other reference to any cumulative or other project values and consistent with that the TPA does not contain any such limit or reference. It is currently anticipated that the overall capital value of projects which may be procured over the next 48 months may extend to an estimated capital value of approximately 530m GBP which would bring the total value of projects award under the TPA to approximately 1200m GBP. The list of potential projects can be viewed by following the link set out in the additional information section of this notice. All such projects fall within the scope advertised through the Contract Notice and the original competitive procurement process. No change to that scope is envisaged and, for the avoidance of doubt no substantial modifications will be made to the terms of the TPA or any Project Agreement. The TPA remains a long term partnering arrangement for the development of public and community infrastructure, and no change is envisaged to the TPA period of 20 years with an option to extend for 5 years.
