## Summary

The Scottish Government is seeking transcription services for the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, with an emphasis on both on-site and remote delivery. This procurement falls under the category of law-courts-related administrative services, and it is being conducted through an open procedure. The procurement process was initiated on 5th February 2021, but has since been cancelled.
