## Summary

The procurement process initiated by NHS Highland for Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) services across its facilities in Inverness, UK has concluded. Marked with the procurement ID HH005-25-TW29 and tagged as an award and contract, this process fell under the industry category of Health. Despite its completion, the previous contract came to an unforeseen end, triggering an urgent need for compliance in testing schedules for NHS Highland's appliances. This contract utilised a limited procurement method due to extreme urgency, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition. Key milestones include the awarding of the contract to D2B Facilities Ltd on 1st November 2025, at a value of £71,100, ensuring the continuation of mandatory PAT services.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health sector services, specifically in facilities management and compliance testing. The contract, awarded to D2B Facilities Ltd, an SME based in Perth, underscores the suitability for similarly scaled enterprises to engage in such procurement efforts. The absence of competitive bidding suggests a potential advantage for SMEs that can swiftly respond to urgent needs and demonstrate reliability. Companies focused on adherence and compliance within the healthcare industry could find this contract rewarding, opening pathways for developing long-term relationships with public health entities such as NHS Highland.
