## Summary

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, located in Glasgow, is leading a significant procurement initiative titled "Ligature Reduction," aimed at updating mental health facilities. This project involves facility upgrades across Leverndale, Stobhill, and Dykebar Hospitals to align with current reduced ligature standards. The process has progressed to the award stage as of August 2025, with a contract awarded to Wylie Shanks Architects LLP. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, focusing on services within the health industry category, and is covered under the GPA. The contract, valued at £75,916.67, began on 1 April 2025, with a commitment to ensure a comprehensive replacement programme for outdated fixtures, contributing to mental health safety improvements.
