## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process titled "NHSS Aroma Coffee", intended for the supply of coffee, tea, and related products to various NHS installations across Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, with the tender linked to the necessity for reliable supply during the Covid-19 pandemic recovery. The contract, valued at £280,000, was signed on 2nd August 2021 and is currently active, addressing demands from the healthcare sector. The delivery locations are within all NHS Scotland Health Boards and relevant authorities throughout the UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in beverage supply and equipment, especially those with experience catering to the healthcare sector. Companies that are well-positioned to compete are likely to be those providing coffee or tea products and machines suitable for environments such as hospitals and health boards. The restrictions imposed by pandemic recovery necessitate swift and reliable suppliers capable of meeting the specific requirements of the NHS, making this an advantageous process for suitably qualified vendors looking to expand their market presence.
