Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly referred to as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed a tender process for the procurement of ultra-low temperature equipment essential for vaccine storage, identified as NSSCOVID-19 -268. This procurement, which falls under the health category, took place specifically in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, driven by the urgent demands of the Covid-19 pandemic.
