## Summary

NHS Grampian, based in Aberdeen, has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Patient Test Kits (Service)" under the health industry category. This contract, which involves the compilation of patient testing kits for various screening tests, was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The decision was made due to the absence of competition for technical reasons and the need to award the contract directly to a local SME. The process culminated in an award to Sciamed Ltd for the Grampian region, with the contract officially signed on 1st October 2025, and a value placed at £150,450.

This procurement offers valuable opportunities for businesses capable of providing specialised health services, particularly those operating as small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the direct award to Sciamed Ltd due to technical uniqueness, other businesses with similar niche capabilities or innovative solutions could position themselves for future opportunities. The contract, being a short trial agreement for one year with potential for extension, may present prospects for service expansion and sustained business growth for those with the capacity to deliver advanced medical services aligned with the needs of NHS Grampian and similar bodies.
