## Summary

Lothian NHS Board procured a specialist colposcopy insourcing service, classified as health services (CPV 85100000). The requirement is to provide outpatient “See and Treat” colposcopy clinics within NHS Lothian facilities. The service is intended to help reduce waiting-list pressures for Lothian Health Board. This is a clinical service delivered in NHS premises, rather than a supply of equipment or a standalone construction project. Relevant providers are organisations able to plan and operate colposcopy clinics, supply appropriately qualified clinical staff, and deliver patient-facing activity within NHS Lothian facilities. The requirement is focused specifically on colposcopy insourcing and outpatient treatment, so suppliers whose work is limited to general healthcare staffing or unrelated diagnostic services may not be well matched.

This procurement has been awarded. It was run as the LMC-225-2026 NHS Lothian Colposcopy Insourcing NP67622 DPS Medical Services requirement, using a dynamic purchasing system route. The tender period began on 10 January 2026. Five bids were recorded. Synaptik was selected as supplier for an award valued at £287,712. The related contract is active and was signed on 9 April 2026. The award covers the colposcopy insourcing service described for NHS Lothian, including “See and Treat” outpatient clinics in NHS Lothian facilities. The available outcome data identifies one supplier and one award; the evaluation criteria are not set out in the procurement information provided.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a specific NHS demand for outsourced colposcopy capacity to address waiting-list pressure. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven ability to deliver outpatient “See and Treat” colposcopy clinics, with suitably qualified clinical teams and the operational capacity to run activity reliably within NHS facilities. Experience of NHS clinical governance, patient pathways, scheduling, records, safeguarding, infection control and quality assurance would support credibility in this setting. Providers should also be able to mobilise an integrated service rather than offer individual staff alone, and demonstrate that their clinicians and managers can work effectively with NHS Lothian processes and facilities. The relevant market is specialist colposcopy insourcing and related clinical service delivery.

## Notice
