## Summary

The procurement process titled "HH032-25-TW25 Patient & Staff Air Travel" was conducted by NHS Highland, located in Inverness, aiming to provide flight services from various Argyll & Bute locations including Islay, Tiree, and Campbeltown. This process falls under the services category, specifically in the health sector, and was completed with an award on 28th January 2026. The procurement method employed was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, owing to the technical rationale that Loganair Limited is the sole provider capable of fulfilling the contract requirements due to an absence of competition.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in the aviation sector, particularly those specialising in passenger transport services. Given the nature of the contract, large-scale carriers with the capability to ensure efficient and cost-effective transport solutions would be well-suited to compete. Although the current award was made to Loganair Limited, the contract underscores the importance of regional connectivity and robust transport services, highlighting potential future opportunities for airlines willing to operate in strategic cooperation with health authorities like NHS Highland.
