The requirement is for clinical general practice services delivered at this named practice, under a single contract lot. The relevant service classification is primary healthcare services (CPV 85121000). NHS Fife is the buying organisation and acts as a central purchasing body. The opportunity is therefore aimed at medical practices, primary care organisations and other suitably constituted healthcare providers able to take responsibility for delivering patient-facing primary medical services in Burntisland. The service is classified as a public healthcare service rather than a supply of goods, construction project or general consultancy. The procurement has reached tender: NHS Fife invited offers through an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted electronically in English by 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids opened at that time. The contract period is 3,600 days, approximately ten years, and bids must remain valid for 120 days after submission. There is one lot and alternative bids are not permitted. Evaluation is based on suitability, with the detailed requirements set out in the Invitation to Submit Business Case. The process includes electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract value is stated in the published tender information. This opportunity suits an established primary care provider with the clinical capability and organisational capacity to deliver ongoing services to patients at The Links Practice in Burntisland. Bidders need to be able to prepare and submit a business case addressing NHS Fife’s suitability requirements, and to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff who would deliver the contract. It is best suited to medical practices, GP-led organisations, healthcare companies or partnerships with experience managing primary medical services and maintaining a suitably qualified clinical workforce. The long-term service commitment favours suppliers able to sustain staffing, governance, operational management and patient service delivery over an extended period. Responses must be prepared in English and submitted electronically. ## Notice Fife Health Board (more commonly known as NHS Fife) ("NHS Fife") placed an advertisement in the Public Contracts Scotland Portal on the 17 September 2026 seeking expressions of interest from any parties interested in providing primary medical services to patients at The Links Practice Burntisland. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Fife Health Board (more commonly known as NHS Fife) ("NHS Fife") placed an advertisement in the Public Contracts Scotland Portal on the 17 September 2026 seeking expressions of interest from any parties interested in providing primary medical services to patients at The Links Practice Burntisland ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564735 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS Fife | | Locality | DUNFERMLINE | | Postcode area | Kirkcaldy | | Postcode | KY12 0SU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Fife | | Electoral ward | Dunfermline North | | Westminster constituency | Dunfermline and Dollar | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85121000 - Medical practice services ## Release History - 17 Sep 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564735 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564735 FIF029 The Links Practice Burntisland - Fife Health Board (more commonly known as NHS Fife) ("NHS Fife") placed an advertisement in the Public Contracts Scotland Portal on the 17 September 2026 seeking expressions of interest from any parties interested in providing primary medical services to patients at The Links Practice Burntisland. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.nhsfife.org - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=843320 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000843320 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
