## Summary

The Scottish Government, a central purchasing body located in Glasgow, has completed the procurement process for a "PHS Website - proof of concept" project under the industry category of services, specifically within the health and general public services sectors. Awarded to the large supplier Computacenter based in Hatfield, this contract was initiated as a limited procurement method using a framework agreement without prior publication of a call for competition. The project focuses on creating a modern, secure, cloud-native digital foundation to enhance the Public Health Scotland website's digital capabilities. The contract, valued at £200,350.50, was signed on 30th March 2026. The procurement process did not involve prior competition calls, falling under a specific directive for the repetition of existing services.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud-native digital solutions and web services, particularly those capable of delivering enhanced cybersecurity, digital content delivery, and content management solutions. While the procurement process was limited and pre-determined through an existing framework, it highlights potential future opportunities for service providers with capabilities in modernising digital infrastructures for public sector bodies. Such projects are well-suited for larger firms or those experienced in handling significant government contracts, given the emphasis on high-quality digital transformation and enterprise-level governance.
