Notice Title
NSSCOVID-19 -336 National Vaccination Scheduling Operations Support
Notice Description
NSS was commissioned by Scottish Government to deliver the vaccination solution for citizens in Scotland to be able to view appointments, schedule and reschedule appointments. The Scottish Government request for accelerated rollout of vaccinations means that there is now insufficient capacity within the team to resource all demand. As a consequence, team members are working excessive hours, including evenings and weekends in attempt to cover. There was an immediate need to have additional operational support to be able to support the immediate vaccination rollout programme.
