## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council, through the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership, has awarded a contract for the "Sight Loss and Vision Impairment Rehabilitation Support Service" aimed at delivering outpatient and rehabilitation services. The procurement process concluded with an award on 9 April 2026, though the tender period began on 4 January 2026. This direct award process selected Royal Blind T/A Sight Scotland as the supplier, with the service to be provided in Edinburgh. The procurement is categorised under services, specifically targeting outpatient care and rehabilitation services. The contract, valued at £2,223,584, spans an initial three-year term, with the potential for extensions up to an additional five years. This procurement process was a direct award without competition, following a light-touch procedure.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those specialising in vision impairment and rehabilitation. While the direct award means this particular opportunity is sealed, similar procurement processes may open up for competition in the future. Companies with expertise in providing specialised outpatient care could benefit from monitoring such tenders to secure future contracts. Additionally, organisations capable of adapting services to meet specified local health and social care needs in cities like Edinburgh would be well-positioned to compete in tendering opportunities aligned with public health objectives.
