Contract requirements in excess of £50,000 which cannot be met by existing, collaborative framework agreements are advertised on the Public Contracts Scotland website or in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) where the total exceeds the EU threshold.

NHS Grampian recognises the significant contribution that the supply and services market, including SME and third sector organisations can make to the provision of its core purpose of providing high quality, safe, efficient, effective and person centred patient care. In 18/19, 45% of NHS Grampian’s spend was with SME organisations and spend with Third Sector organisations was over £3m.
