This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following the completion of a limited procurement method, which did not involve prior publication of a call for competition. The contract modification extends the term from 28th February 2022 to 27th February 2023 to meet additional demands arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The total contract value is £608,912, and interested suppliers had the opportunity to engage with the procurement team through contact point Shona MacKenzie. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those specialising in orthotics or related healthcare services. Companies like Buchanan Orthotics Ltd, which is already a supplier, could further benefit, but there is room for new entrants, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of meeting the evolving demands of the NHS during this challenging time. The ability to adapt quickly in terms of supply and innovation will be advantageous for potential competitors aiming to secure contracts within the public health framework. ## Notice This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification of contract term from 28th February 2022 to 27th February 2023 to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic and to maintain necessary supply due to circumstances unforeseen by the Authority in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 VEAT notice is advised at framework level and does not detail individual lots. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification of contract term from 28th February 2022 to 27th February 2023 to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic and to maintain necessary supply due to circumstances unforeseen by the Authority in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 VEAT notice is advised at framework level and does not detail individual lots. ### Procurement Information This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification of contract term from 28th February 2022 to 27th February 2023 to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic and to maintain necessary supply due to circumstances unforeseen by the Authority in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 VEAT notice is advised at framework level and does not detail individual lots. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB440653 | | Notice type | OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Jan 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £608,912 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS") | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BUCHANAN ORTHOTICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85111600 - Orthotic services ## Release History - 14 Feb 2022 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB440653 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB440653 Orthotic Services - This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification of contract term from 28th February 2022 to 27th February 2023 to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic and to maintain necessary supply due to circumstances unforeseen by the Authority in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 VEAT notice is advised at framework level and does not detail individual lots. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.nss.nhs.scot/browse/procurement-and-logistics - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000682925 - https://www.buchananorthotics.co.uk/ - https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/the-courts/court-locations/edinburgh-sheriff-court-and-justice-of-the-peace-court ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
