## Summary

The recent procurement process initiated by the Scottish Government focuses on enhancing the circularity within NHS Scotland's supply chain, a move poised to significantly reduce carbon emissions. The contract, titled "CivTech 10 - How can technology increase circularity in NHS Scotland supply chain?" falls under the services category and was conducted through an open procedure, inviting electronic submissions by the deadline of 10 September 2024. The procurement stage reached the award phase, with the contract valued at £390,056, signed on 13 August 2025. The project is based in Edinburgh, under the governance of the Scottish Government, located at 5 Atlantic Quay, Glasgow. This initiative aligns with the general public services category and operates within the UKM region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, especially those with innovative technological solutions aimed at transforming supply chain operations. Given the emphasis on high-quality solutions with zero focus on pricing criteria, companies that specialise in circular economy practices and sustainable supply chains can benefit from participating. The CivTech initiative, linked with this tender, is designed to foster collaboration between public sector expertise and private sector innovation, potentially allowing SMEs to engage with a high-value public sector contract. Businesses capable of addressing challenges in increasing re-use, product substitution, and developing models that promote extended producer responsibility stand to gain both financially and through contributing to broader environmental goals.

## Notice

Working towards circular supply chains is the single most effective way of reducing carbon emissions and the NHS Scotland Carbon Footprint. By working with their supply chain partners, NHS Scotland can better manage the almost 4 Billion (GBP) worth of products and services procured annually. By focusing on changing business models to reduce single use items, increase re-use and remanufacture through product substitution, utilise access (rather than ownership) models and support extended producer responsibility and return systems, NHS Scotland can work to keep products part of the active economy for longer.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

CivTech's mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people's lives better - and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.
