What is being bought

NatureScot, in partnership with NHS National Services Scotland, is intending to carry out: 1. a UKHabv2 survey and; 2. a Natural Capital Assessment (NCA) of the NHS Estate in Scotland. A first Phase (herein referred to as Phase A to avoid confusion with ‘Phase 1’ Surveys) has already delivered UKHabv2 surveys for the NHS Estate within areas covered by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Highland and NHS Tayside. Additionally, a Phase 1 Habitat Survey of NHS Lothian Estate was carried out in 2020 as part of a biodiversity and climate change assessment for the NHS Lothian estate. 1. The purpose of carrying out the UKHAb2 survey in the remaining 10 NHS Board areas (Phase B) is to establish a baseline to inform: - a natural capital account of NHS greenspace at the NHS Board scale (part 2. of this project) - a possible future biodiversity assessment of the NHS Estate, once an biodiversity metric tool has been developed and established in Scotland - management of NHS greenspace to provide positive effects for biodiversity - management of NHS greenspace to maximize the health benefits for staff, patients and the wider community - priorities for investment in NHS greenspace to maximize benefits for people and nature - opportunities for people to connect with nature as part of therapeutic health interventions 2. The purpose of carrying out the NCA across all Board areas (Phases A and B) is to provide: - an appreciation and valuation – where possible in monetary terms - of the ecosystem services that the natural resources provide, such as clean water and air, flood regulation, climate regulation (carbon sequestration), pollination and visual amenity - a framework for understanding the economic and social value of natural assets, which can be used to justify investments in nature and guide resource allocation - a demonstration of how the NHS contributes to the well-being of society through actions that benefit nature - a framework for risk management of natural capital and the potential impacts on the NHS estate.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Environmental services (90700000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 907,3815 median · 18.1 average (3,194 of 7,381 with a bid count)3 average (3,442 of 7,381 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKM2246 median · 34.3 average (111 of 224 with a bid count)5 average (123 of 224 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Additionally, a Phase 1 Habitat Survey of NHS Lothian Estate was carried out in 2020 as part of a biodiversity and climate change assessment for the NHS Lothian estate.\n1. The purpose of carrying out the UKHAb2 survey in the remaining 10 NHS Board areas (Phase B) is to establish a baseline to inform:\n- a natural capital account of NHS greenspace at the NHS Board scale (part 2. of this project)\n- a possible future biodiversity assessment of the NHS Estate, once an biodiversity metric tool has been developed and established in Scotland\n- management of NHS greenspace to provide positive effects for biodiversity\n- management of NHS greenspace to maximize the health benefits for staff, patients and the wider community\n- priorities for investment in NHS greenspace to maximize benefits for people and nature\n- opportunities for people to connect with nature as part of therapeutic health interventions\n2. The purpose of carrying out the NCA across all Board areas (Phases A and B) is to provide:\n- an appreciation and valuation – where possible in monetary terms - of the ecosystem services that the natural resources provide, such as clean water and air, flood regulation, climate regulation (carbon sequestration), pollination and visual amenity\n- a framework for understanding the economic and social value of natural assets, which can be used to justify investments in nature and guide resource allocation\n- a demonstration of how the NHS contributes to the well-being of society through actions that benefit nature\n- a framework for risk management of natural capital and the potential impacts on the NHS estate.",
