Dialysis journeys account for more than 40% of all non-emergency patient transport activity, costing 9.1 million GBP annually. Yet current arrangements can be inconsistent, creating avoidable pressures for patients, providers and NHS services. NHS Scotland is seeking innovative, patient-centred and sustainable solutions that improve reliability, efficiency and patient outcomes, while reducing administrative burden and delivering better value for money. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support Software development services Data analysis services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-06f4cc-2026-09-08T15:07:41+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-06f4cc-2026-09-08T15:07:41+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
