II.2.4) Disgrifiad o’r caffaeliad
The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as National Services Scotland) (‘NSS’) acting through its division National Procurement, is undertaking this procurement of the supply and delivery of the provision of a National Digital Type 2 Diabetes Remission Programme. The programme will support eligible individuals with type 2 diabetes in achieving remission through a structured, digitally delivered intervention. It will be delivered in three phases:
Total Diet Replacement (TDR): 12–20 weeks
Food Reintroduction: 6–12 weeks
Weight Loss Maintenance: Up to 12 months
The Framework Agreement will be for a 4 year period.
The Service aims to deliver a National Digital Type 2 Diabetes Remission Programme. Total Diet Replacement (TDR) is expected to be with shakes and soups (delivered directly to a Service Users home). A range of digital services (app-based / online delivery models) are expected to support the Food Re-introduction and Weight Loss Maintenance phases with flexibility to allow service users to repeat stages of the intervention as determined by Healthcare professionals.
The proposed framework will aim to support adults living with Type 2 Diabetes who meet clinically appropriate eligibility criteria, through digitally delivered weight management and lifestyle behaviour change interventions that support remission of Type 2 Diabetes and improve metabolic health.
Scope of Services to include:
-A fully digital application offering personalised behavioural support, weight management, nutritional education, and physical activity guidance.
-Real-time support sessions from Health Coach (digitally).
-Tracking of food and drink intake, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, exercise.
-Clinical oversight and data integration capabilities (where appropriate) with NHS Scotland systems.
-Culturally appropriate and inclusive service design to meet the needs of Scotland’s diverse population.
-Demonstrable outcomes in line with Scottish clinical standards e.g., SIGN 172 guidelines.
-Evidence of scalability, user engagement, data privacy compliance, and robust outcome tracking.
The successful Framework Provider will be expected to use and/or integrate with NHS Scotland systems in provision of its services and its direct relationship with Primary Care and the National Diabetes Remission Team (NDRT).
Such systems include, for example, a referral management system (SCI Gateway), and middleware platforms (National Digital Platform/National Integration Platform) to facilitate GP and Health Board interactions, and for provision of data reporting.
Phase 1: Digital Solution requires implementation to be complete for January 2026: As per Appendix 1 (Statement of Requirements) of the Invitation To Tender (ITT) and in particular Solution Architecture referenced at Annex 9. This first phase of the programme requires Framework Participants to obtain direct access to NHS Scotland’s Referral System. It is expected that Primary Care Clinicians will refer eligible Service Users to the Framework Participant via a SCI Gateway referral using a pre-designed referral protocol. This will require the Framework Participant to have a SWAN connection to allow the Framework Participant to sign in to SCI Gateway which is only available on SWAN.
Phase 2: Post January 2026 and subject to programme success and securing business as usual (BAU) funding, NHS Scotland may look to develop tighter technical integrations with the Framework Participant to automate more of the end-to-end process.

The Framework Agreement will be for a 4-year period, however only three (3) years funding is currently secured. The estimated values at Section II.1.5 and Section II.2.6 are an estimate of the total value over the full 4-year period of the Framework Agreement.
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 3000 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 use.
It is not anticipated that this would alter the overall nature or scope of the contract, only additional volume of referrals.

Gwybodaeth fanwl gywir am y terfyn(au) amser ar gyfer gweithdrefnau adolygu:
The authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made)
applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information,
a summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a
minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which
the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The
bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into
the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to
an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the
setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the
authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition
of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be
awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are
entitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within
15 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
prevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. 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.
