Health and social care tender writing in Scotland
Clearpoint Bid Solutions is registered in Scotland. We write care and health tenders to Scottish procurement rules, Scottish regulation and Scottish terminology, so your bid reads in the language Scottish evaluators use.
How care is bought in Scotland
Scottish councils buy care under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, rather than the Procurement Act 2023 used in England and Wales. Tenders are advertised on Public Contracts Scotland. Adult care is commissioned by the 32 councils and Health and Social Care Partnerships, with some services bought through frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems, including Scotland Excel arrangements, while NHS boards commission health services.

How we build your bid in Scotland
Your Scottish Client Master File is kept separate from any English or Welsh version. Your evidence request form uses Scottish terms such as care at home, housing support and Additional Support for Learning, so nothing written for England slips into a Scottish bid.
