Its most active procurement categories are business and professional services, food and catering supplies, health and social care. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do NHS National Services Scotland contracts come up for renewal?
No contracts awarded by NHS National Services Scotland currently have a recorded end date within the next 18 months. Not every award notice publishes an end date, so this is a floor rather than a complete picture.
How much does NHS National Services Scotland spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £817k, across the 38 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new NHS National Services Scotland tenders?
