Talking Tenders with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde - MS Services

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGGC) has a population of 1.2m people, and it provides services for people with neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), from the Institute of Neurological Sciences (INS). The Institute is a world-recognised specialist centre for Neurology, Neurosurgery, Spinal Injuries and Neurorehabilitation Medicine.

Its neurological services are provided predominantly to the populations of:

NHS Ayrshire & Arran
NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde
NHS Highland – Argyll & Bute HSCP
NHS Lanarkshire

INS also provides a range of regional and national services to wider populations of up to 5.3m people.

There are over 11,000 people in Scotland who are living with MS, many of whose needs are not purely clinical in nature. NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde has therefore funded various specialist support services for people affected by MS for several years.

NHSGGC wish to commission a robust set of services to provide support and care to people with MS and their families/carers which aligns to the aims and strategies of both NHS Scotland and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde in particular.

Representatives from NHSGGC will be in attendance to provide more information on the MS Service contract. In the second half of the session, one of SDP's expert trainers will show suppliers how to access and respond to the tender documents using the Public Contracts Scotland and/or Public Contracts Scotland Tender websites.

Please book your place in advance to learn more about this upcoming contract opportunity.
