This process is characterised as goods procurement and is following the initiation type "tender". An important date is set for 23 April 2026, when they will hold a virtual market engagement session from 11:00 to 12:00 UK time. This session is part of the pre-Invitation to Tender phase, designed to gather information that will inform the procurement approach, with no formal evaluation or competition involved at this stage. Interested suppliers are encouraged to request an invitation via the PCS-Tender bulletin board. This procurement initiative presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in Workforce Management solutions, especially those with experience or interest in the healthcare sector technology. Businesses that can offer innovative and efficient workforce management systems would be well-suited to compete, particularly firms that navigate public procurement processes effectively. Engagement at this stage could position them favourably for future involvement as the process advances towards formal tendering, which is anticipated to progress after 1 May 2026. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), with legal frameworks guided by EU directives, specifically CELEX 32014L0024. ## Notice NHS 24 is holding a virtual Pre-Invitation to Tender (Pre-ITT) market engagement session on Thursday 23 April 2026, 11:00-12:00 (UK time), ahead of the upcoming procurement of a new Workforce Management system. This pre-procurement session is for information-gathering to help inform the procurement approach and is not part of any formal evaluation or competition. Suppliers interested in attending should request an invitation via the PCS-Tender bulletin board. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR554136 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 May 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS 24 | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48100000 - Industry specific software package ## Release History - 17 Apr 2026 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR554136 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR554136&idx=2 20th April 2026 - Procurement of an NHS24 WFM system enabling 24/7 real-time scheduling, leave automation. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR554136&idx=1 17th April 2026 - invite - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR554136 NHS24 Workforce Management Solution - Market Engagement Session - NHS 24 is holding a virtual Pre-Invitation to Tender (Pre-ITT) market engagement session on Thursday 23 April 2026, 11:00-12:00 (UK time), ahead of the upcoming procurement of a new Workforce Management system.
