Tender information last checkedLast checked 3 Oct 2026, 07:07.

Opportunity overview

Development services required to keep the EMIS PCS GP IT System running, that is still in use in 454 surgeries in Scotland. The requirement was unforeseen at the award of the GP IT Systems framework agreement as the programme of work to replace these systems in practices was delayed by supplier acquisition. We anticipate these systems will be required until June 2027 after which they be migrated to new services under NP500717 GP IT Managed Services contract.

Review Details
Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts: An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
Why this procedure was chosen
NSS relies on Reg.33.(1)(b)(ii) as the services can only be supplied by the provider of the software for technical reasons.
