## Summary

The Scottish Ambulance Service has recently completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Urgent Office Fit Out Works," which is classified under the health industry category. This project, located at Caledonian House in Dundee, had a total contract value of £985,000 and necessitated urgent works to ensure critical NHS24 health services remain uninterrupted during the festive and winter period. The procurement stage has been classified as 'Award,' and the procurement method used was 'limited,' permitting direct contracting with Insite Contracts Ltd due to extreme urgency, as funding was provided by the Scottish Government. The contract was signed on 27 August 2021, with completion required by early November 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in office refurbishment and fit-out works, particularly those with the capability to handle urgent and complex projects within the health sector. Given the urgency of the project, companies experienced in project management and construction trade skills will find suitable grounds to compete. As the public sector increasingly seeks to enhance health service capacity, firms that can address immediate operational needs, especially in high-pressure environments, are ideally positioned to participate in future tenders similar to this one.
