## Summary

In a recent procurement process initiated by NHS Highland, medical services are sought for the RNI Community Hospital and Ach an Eas Care Home in Inverness. The tender, titled "Medical Support to the RNI Community Hospital and Ach an Eas Care Home Inverness," falls under the services category and is identified by CPV code 85120000. The contract involves the provision of medical support during weekdays excluding public holidays, with potential expansion to weekend services in the future. Initiated through an open procedure, this procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract signed on 1st March 2022 and active until 31st March 2027.

Suppliers such as Southside Road Surgery, currently engaged, demonstrate the suitability of SMEs capable of scaling operations to fit public sector demands. Firms with expertise in medical operations and capacity to expand services across weekends will find this contract favourable for growth.
