Forestry and Land Scotland has launched a Specialized Peatland Restoration Dynamic Purchasing System, which opened on 8 September 2026, to procure specialised peatland restoration services across the national forests and land of Scotland. The DPS provides a compliant, electronic route for the procurement of a range of restoration operations that are not covered by existing contracts and facilitates future bidding opportunities for admitted participants. The system is intended to support the renewal or replacement of services that have terminated or expired, with a scheduled validity period of five years and the possibility of extensions.

The services sought through the DPS encompass a breadth of peatland restoration activities, including site rewetting and associated hydrological, hag, gully, and mulching operations; specialised peatland harvesting such as tree removal, mechanical mulching, and brash and timber management; and supporting works such as chainsaw maintenance, temporary watercourse crossings, access track creation, and the supply and installation of related materials. Contractors wishing to be admitted must submit their applications within the specified timeframe, after which they will be evaluated for inclusion in the system.

Compliance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and recognised peatland restoration best practice standards is mandatory.

The University of Strathclyde is inviting proposals for a digital technology solution that will help people living with substance use issues and their families or friends to connect quickly and reliably with trusted support when conventional services are closed, unavailable or beyond reach. The project arises from Scotland’s high drug‑ and alcohol‑related mortality rates, the fragmented nature of the support landscape, and the tendency for individuals and their networks to rely on emergency services as a fallback when routine access has failed. The aim is to enable earlier, harm‑reduction interventions by expanding individuals’ "circle of support" and ensuring that help can be accessed anywhere and at any time.

Proposals should outline a system that harnesses existing trusted services, families, and community resources, and that can be deployed across all of Scotland regardless of locality. The solution must be user‑friendly for end users, able to operate outside normal office hours, and should feature a feedback loop of learning, intelligence and insight that allows continuous improvement of the overall approach to substance use support. It must support integration with existing services and provide a feedback loop to inform continuous improvement.

The contracting entity seeks a provider for Long Term Condition Services. The procurement focuses on solutions demonstrating experience and capabilities in delivering these services, aligning with the requirements outlined in the Contract Notice.

Two case studies exemplify the proposed approach. The first details an Integrated Diabetes Management Platform developed for a National Health Service Trust facing challenges managing a growing Type 2 diabetes population. This digital platform enables patients to track blood glucose levels, medication adherence, and dietary intake; access educational resources and personalized care plans; and communicate securely with their healthcare team. Outcomes included a 20% reduction in hospital admissions for diabetes-related complications, improved patient engagement and self-management, and increased efficiency for healthcare professionals.

The second case study outlines a Community-Based Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Support Program designed for a Local Authority in partnership with a Respiratory Charity. This program addressed limited access to specialist COPD care in rural areas by utilizing telehealth technology for remote symptom and lung function monitoring, virtual support groups facilitated by respiratory nurses and peer mentors, and educational resources tailored to individual needs. Outcomes included improved patient quality of life, a 15% reduction in emergency department visits, and empowered individuals actively managing their condition.
