This procurement falls within the health industry category and is located in the UKM region, specifically targeting cities such as Edinburgh and Aberdeen. The procurement stage is completed, with the contract awarded on 2nd September 2024, valued at £69,900. The procurement method was limited, with the University of Aberdeen selected as the sole supplier, justified by the unique capability and strategic necessity to provide equitable training access across Scotland, including areas beyond the Central Belt. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in medical training and educational services, particularly those with experience in providing advanced simulation training. The awarded contract highlights the importance of delivering specialised training in areas such as Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesia, Higher Surgery, and Vascular Surgery. Thus, companies with expertise and capabilities in these domains stand to benefit. Additionally, the focus on reducing travel costs and environmental impact by localising training may appeal to businesses prioritising sustainability and cost-efficiency in their services. ## Notice To deliver specific simulation training for doctors in training for various specialties including: Emergency Medicine Anaesthesia Higher Surgery Vascular Surgery ### Lot Information Lot 1 To deliver specific simulation training for doctors in training for various specialties including: Emergency Medicine Anaesthesia Higher Surgery Vascular Surgery ### Procurement Information A decision has been taken to waiver the formal competitive tendering procedures in relation to the above noted project.
