NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Healthcare Charity (formally known as the NHSGGC Endowment Fund) is a charity registered with OSCR (SC005895) comprising in excess of 1700 restricted/unrestricted individual funds for the benefit of patients and staff.
Charitable Endowment Funds:
Endowment funds are defined as money or property donated to the Health Board and held in trust for such purposes relating to services provided under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 or in relation to hospitals, or to the functions of the Board with respect to research, as the Board may think fit. Funds are used for equipment, patients’ comforts and amenities, research, and training together with the provision of extra facilities and opportunities not available from government funding. The Boards Endowment Fund had total net assets of GBP103.6m as of 31st March 2025 and expenditure amounted to GBP14.1m.
Patients Private Funds:
NHSGGC administers GBP2.5 million Patients’ Private Funds (PPF) on behalf of around 500 of its patients. Many of these patients are incapable of managing their own affairs, and are covered by the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, but others choose to use the service voluntarily because of the convenience, or because infirmity or frailness makes the use of normal banking arrangements impractical.
The Board is responsible for ensuring proper accounting records are maintained, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PPF and for safeguarding the assets held on behalf of the patients, including taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Both the Charitable Endowment Funds and the PPF are required to be independently audited in accordance with approved auditing standards.
Consequently NHSGGC is required to conduct a regulated procurement exercise to appoint a regulated independent auditor that will provide this service.
NHSGG&C seek to enable those who have used mental health services to support and engage with other service users, whose experience of mental health services influences the quality and content of care and treatment provided within NHSGG&C.
To ensure the ability of service users to be able to influence services and to be adequately supported to do so, we are looking to work in partnership with the successful supplier, to support the development of peer engagement while ensuring that public funds are duly considered and performance managed.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GG&C) (“the participating authority”) and NHS Golden Jubilee require suitably qualified, competent and experienced Consultants to provide a range of Asbestos Surveying and Analytical Services through a framework agreement. In addition NHS Lanarkshire will have the option to access this framework agreement if they so choose. NHS GGC are aware the NHS Lanarkshire are currently looking to progress their own procurement to establish a contract separate to this procurement.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGG&C) intends to establish a formal contract for the provision of Macerator Maintenance Services across all NHSGG&C sites and health centres. As there is currently no contract in place, this tender will secure a structured and consistent approach to maintenance and performance standards.
NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde Health Board (hereafter referred to as ‘The Board’) routinely procure a wide range of building materials required to support ongoing maintenance and repair activities across NHSGGC sites.
The Tenderer(s) shall be required to supply building materials, key goods include routine maintenance materials, planned project materials, and items required for unplanned or urgent works.
The chosen procurement approach is an open process that will establish a ranked framework, with a mini‑competition threshold set at GBP3500. This threshold was informed by a Pareto analysis, which showed that most spend with current building‑material suppliers falls within GBP3500 range.
For orders up to GBP3500, Direct Call‑Offs may be placed with the awarded supplier. For orders above GBP3500, a mini‑competition will be carried out among all framework suppliers to ensure best value.
Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership are seeking a dynamic organisation(s), or partnership of organisations, to deliver Employability Services across the city.
It is expected that flexible, culturally appropriate approaches will be used and that suppliers will demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of inequalities in Glasgow City. This should include barriers for people who experience multiple vulnerabilities, particularly people with mental health conditions and people with a history of problematic alcohol and drug misuse.
The successful supplier(s) will work collaboratively with existing partnerships and, where appropriate, form new partnerships with a range of voluntary and statutory organisations.
The aim of the service is to:
-Promote and support recovery and increase access to employability opportunities for people aged 16 and over who have long term mental health conditions and people aged 18 and over who are in recovery from problematic alcohol and/or drug misuse.
-To increase the number of individuals to move into employment and increase access to employment opportunities.
-To provide access to local community services through collaborative working with a range of voluntary and statutory organisations.
