How to submit a contract
You can have your project featured on this page as well as distributed via email alert to all members on our approved Research Contractor Database.
A short description of the contract should be emailed to our Research Officer – research.officer@health.scot.nhs.uk as a single word document that can be uploaded straight onto the site.
Your document should clearly convey a brief summary of the background to the research and the overall aims as well as the closing date for submission of expressions of interest/tenders, a contact name, details for where further information can be sought and a note of where submissions should be sent to. Please utlilise our Web Insert Template for creating your document. Please note that we are not responsible for proof-reading or editing your document.
Please ensure your web insert arrives with us at least 10 working days before the deadline for expressions of interest.
All subsequent Expressions of Interest should be sent directly to the relevant external agency commissioning the research.
