## Summary

The procurement process involves the buying organisation, The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland), which is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for leasing a range of commercial vehicles. The tender, titled "Commercial Lease Vehicles," concerns the health industry and is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is currently in the award stage, with the contract for light commercial vehicles valued at £3.5 million and for heavy commercial vehicles at £200,000, both signed on 23 May 2022. This framework will support all NHS Scotland Health Boards and related entities in their operational needs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle leasing, conversion, and related services. Companies with capabilities in providing light and heavy commercial vehicles, alongside maintenance and support services, are well-suited to compete. The procurement method utilised is a limited tender, allowing for tailored responses to the exceptional demands highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, businesses that can adapt to fluctuating market conditions are likely to benefit from this framework agreement.

### Procurement Information

This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic (and recovery of services) to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The priorities for NSS, NHS Scotland and likely those suppliers who would wish to be part of a tender process (due to severe market conditions) have changed, as a result it is a necessary step to delay start of new tender process necessitating a 12 month extension to current framework revising expiry to September 2023. The global market for vehicles is currently suffering severe disruption to an extent that it is understood from supplier and market feedback that a tender process could not be completed at this time. Tender process is planned to commence by spring 2023.
