Tender opportunities within the Health and Social Care sector

The Department works with a Centre of Procurement Expertise (CoPE), Construction and Procurement Delivery (CPD) in DoF, to deliver its own procurements. However, on occasions the Department may work with Business Service Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service (BSO PaLS) as the CoPE depending on the nature of the service required.
The Department’s ALBs work with two CoPEs to deliver procurements:
- BSO PaLS on procurement of non-construction goods and services
- Health Estates on procurement of construction and design services
Relevant procurement guidance is currently issued to HSC organisations by way of HSC(F) circulars.
