## Description
This Voluntary Ex‑Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice gives advance public notice that Healthcare Improvement Scotland intends to modify its existing call‑off contract for the Right Decision Service (RDS) solely to extend the contract term beyond the current expiry of 13 March 2026.
The modification is required because confirmation of guaranteed funding for the continued delivery of RDS has only recently been secured. It is therefore not feasible to identify and implement an alternative route to market without risking disruption to this nationally used clinical decision support platform.
A contract extension is therefore necessary to ensure continuity while HIS completes the next steps in establishing the appropriate procurement route. Healthcare Improvement Scotland is commissioning an independent review of Right Decision Service technology which will inform the future procurement approach.
