It will provide a tailored, nine-month, evidence-based lifestyle intervention aimed at reducing the risk of progression to Type 2 Diabetes.\nThe digital service will support Service Users via an application-based platform, providing access to trained health coaches, online peer support communities, and functionality to set, track, and monitor personalised health goals.

This will include ensuring the service is culturally sensitive to local populations and flexible enough to meet the needs of users with diverse requirements, including appropriate language support.\nParticipants will be able to access the programme through multiple referral routes, including Primary Care (e.g. GP referral) and self-referral pathways.\nCurrent funding has been allocated to support up to 15,000 users over a three-year period. The proposed framework will operate as a single-supplier arrangement and will also include provision for the delivery of a Hypertension Pathway for approximately 500 users per annum.\nEligibility for the hypertension pathway will be based on a confirmed diagnosis of primary hypertension alongside a BMI ≥25 (or BMI ≥23 for minority ethnic groups).\nPlease Note: During the term of the Framework Agreement, NHS Scotland reserves the right, should funding become available, to increase the volume of service users (current estimate of 15000 over the initial 3-years of the Framework Agreement term) who may access the Programme. For example, additional purchases may be made which exceed the level of funding currently secured as a result of clinical and service outcomes and benefits which support wider adoption of the Programme.\nThe Authority also reserves the right to expand the scope of the service to include additional cohorts, pathways, or clinical indicators (for example, the inclusion of further at-risk populations identified through screening), which may increase overall demand under the Framework.\nThe procurement is expected to be conducted using a Restricted Procedure, comprising two stages:\nStage 1 Selection Stage (SPD Assessment):\nSuppliers will be required to complete and submit a Single Procurement Document (SPD). This stage will assess bidders’ suitability to proceed and will include a combination of pass/fail criteria (e.g. mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds, economic and financial standing) and scored evaluation.\nAs part of the SPD, the Authority will assess technical and professional ability, including responses to scored questions and requests for relevant examples of previous experience. These responses will be weighted and scored to enable the Authority to evaluate capability and rank suppliers. A shortlist of the highest-ranking bidders will be invited to progress to Stage 2.\nStage 2 – Invitation to Tender (ITT):\nOnly suppliers shortlisted at Stage 1 will be invited to submit a full tender. Bidders will be required to respond to a Statement of Requirements (SoR), setting out how they will deliver the contract, including proposed methodology, service delivery model, and pricing.\nTenders will be evaluated in accordance with the published award criteria, based on quality and price, to determine the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT).\nStage 1 is expected to commence mid to late August 2026, with Stage 2 anticipated to commence in early October 2026.

This stage will assess bidders’ suitability to proceed and will include a combination of pass/fail criteria (e.g. mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds, economic and financial standing) and scored evaluation.\nAs part of the SPD, the Authority will assess technical and professional ability, including responses to scored questions and requests for relevant examples of previous experience. These responses will be weighted and scored to enable the Authority to evaluate capability and rank suppliers. A shortlist of the highest-ranking bidders will be invited to progress to Stage 2.\nStage 2 – Invitation to Tender (ITT):\nOnly suppliers shortlisted at Stage 1 will be invited to submit a full tender. Bidders will be required to respond to a Statement of Requirements (SoR), setting out how they will deliver the contract, including proposed methodology, service delivery model, and pricing.\nTenders will be evaluated in accordance with the published award criteria, based on quality and price, to determine the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT).\nStage 1 is expected to commence mid to late August 2026, with Stage 2 anticipated to commence in early October 2026.

or (where no deselection notification has previously been made)\napplied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information,\na summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a\nminimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which\nthe authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The\nbringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into\nthe framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to\nan end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the\nsetting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the\nauthority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition\nof special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be\nawarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are\nentitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within\n15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such request during the standstill period may not\nprevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. Economic operators should\napproach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts: An economic operator\nthat suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015\nor the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session." } ] }, "parties": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-181381",
