Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland) seeking additional storage capacity (NSSCOVID-19 -261) to support the demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Located in Edinburgh, this procurement fell under the services category and has been initiated through a limited procurement method, which allowed for a direct award to the successful supplier, Bullet Express. The contract has a total value of £405,000, with a signed date on 12th November 2020, and a duration extending up to 330 days.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialised in storage solutions, logistics, or supply chain management, to expand their services within the health sector. As health organisations continue to adapt to evolving challenges, suppliers capable of offering scalable storage services will likely find themselves well-positioned to secure contracts in the growing market response to public health demands. This is particularly true for large-scale operations that can efficiently meet emergency requirements as experienced during the COVID-19 crisis.
