Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "NSSCOVID-19 -315 Qnostic QC Panels Regional Hubs." This project, falling under the health industry category, was initiated to meet the urgent needs of COVID-19 quality assurance testing across NHS Scotland. The contract was awarded following an open procedure and is currently active with a value of £90,000, having been signed on 1st December 2020.
