The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), planning to acquire a Clinical Waste Continuous Steam Treatment System. This contract falls under the industry category of machinery for the heat treatment of materials and is geographically centred in the UK, specifically the Edinburgh region.
