## Summary

NHS Highland has awarded a contract for the provision of medical support services to the County Community Hospital in Invergordon. The procurement process was a limited tender awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, following two unsuccessful tender opportunities in 2023. The awarded contract amounts to £90,000 and was signed on 14 October 2024. The contract involves services for 28 inpatient beds, provided during the hours of 08:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. The project falls under the health industry category and services will be delivered in the UKM6 region, specifically in Inverness.

This contract presents an opportunity for medical service providers, particularly those specialising in community hospital support, to engage in a high-value procurement with NHS Highland. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) offering specialised medical support services are well suited to compete in this kind of procurement process because of their ability to provide focused and efficient care within specified operational hours. Engagements like this can significantly enhance the business profile and operational scope of medical service providers by associating with a reputable buyer such as NHS Highland.
