The work is titled “Making Data Count for NHS Boards” and is described as improving data presentation, assurance and decision-making across NHS Scotland boards. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction. Delivery is in Scotland; the buyer is based in Edinburgh. The requirement is aimed at suppliers able to support health organisations in making effective use of data for board-level decisions. The description establishes the intended improvement, but does not break the work into specific deliverables or identify individual NHS boards. The buyer invited offers through a tender using an open procedure, with electronic submissions in English. This process reached the tender stage. The submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 13:00 UTC, with the award period due to start at that time. The contract is for 360 days, with two possible 12-month extensions. The procurement is arranged as a single lot, and variant bids are not allowed. The notice gives no estimated contract value. The supplied procurement details do not set out the award scoring or evaluation basis; selection criteria documents are referenced. The contract notice is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender was not marked as cancelled or withdrawn. This opportunity is suited to consultancies and specialist service providers working in data presentation, data assurance, analytics, performance reporting or decision-support for health services. Suppliers should be able to help NHS boards make information clearer and more dependable for governance and strategic decisions. Experience translating data into board-level reporting and supporting public-sector or healthcare decision-making would be commercially relevant to the stated aim. The single-lot structure means the requirement is presented as one overall service rather than separate packages, so bidders should be able to address the scope as a whole or assemble suitable delivery partners. The published description does not state required accreditations, staffing levels, minimum experience thresholds or technical qualifications, so firms should judge their fit against the detailed procurement documents. ## Notice Making Data Count: Improving Data Presentation, Assurance and Decision-Making for NHS Scotland Boards ### Lot Information Lot 1 Making Data Count: Improving Data Presentation, Assurance and Decision-Making for NHS Scotland Boards Renewal: 2 x 12-month Extensions ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT567776 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website 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 | 30 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 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 | The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland) (PSD Scotland) | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Postcode area | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 30 Oct 2026 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT567776 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT567776 C002225 - Making Data Count for NHS Boards - Making Data Count: Improving Data Presentation, Assurance and Decision-Making for NHS Scotland Boards ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://publicservicesdelivery.scot/about/procurement/ - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - http://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000847136 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
