## Summary

NHS Ayrshire & Arran has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "AA-368-25-TW Operational Programme Management Office," aimed at enhancing financial management pursuant to Scottish Government targets. The procurement was conducted under the "services" category, specifically for consultancy services related to programme management within the healthcare sector. The location of the contract is Ayrshire and Arran, under the region code UKM94. The procurement was carried out using a limited procedure without prior publication, justifying the lack of a competitive call by indicating the engagement with firms based on expertise and value for money. The contract was awarded on 31st July 2025 to Viridian Associates, an SME based in Worcester, furthering the efforts of NHS Ayrshire and Arran to align with government financial objectives.

This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in operational management, especially those with experience in public sector healthcare services. With the contract valued at £295,205, this creates a lucrative chance for businesses proficient in strategic financial consultation and management. Given the project's focus to optimise NHS financial improvement plans, firms with a strong track record in healthcare consultancy would be well-suited to compete in similar opportunities. The project emphasises the importance of expertise and value, hinting at the potential for similar future procurements where specialised consultancy services are required by NHS boards and other public entities.
