This project falls under the IT services category, specifically for consulting and software development, located in Scotland. The procurement method employed was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract was signed on 16th October 2021, with an awarded value of £609,050. As of the latest update, the status of the award is active. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those with expertise in software development and consultancy focused on health sector solutions. Given the urgency stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses that can quickly mobilise resources and demonstrate expertise in developing scheduling systems or supporting public health initiatives would be well-suited to compete in providing additional services to enhance the vaccination platform. The market is open for firms capable of delivering innovative solutions to meet the increasing demands of Scotland's health sector. ## Notice NSS were commissioned by Scottish Government to deliver the vaccination solution for citizens in Scotland to be able to view appointments, schedule & reschedule appointments. Other elements of the solution support case management for contact centre agents, inventory management and reporting across the scheduling components and inventory. Following the successful rollout and implementation, It has been agreed by Scottish Government that the NVSS system would be further enhanced to provide scheduling, and a new booking engine for winter flu and covid-19 booster vaccinations, to enable citizens to self-book book appointments. This is part of the "Tranche 2" programme. Extra resources from the supplier is required. Due to the timescales for delivery, and the complexity of scheduling, and the need to offer this as a service to all citizens within Scotland, we do not have the resources in-house to meet the demand and will require extension to the NVSS team under the current development and consultancy contract to meet the agreed timescales. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a directly awarded contract between the Authority on behalf of NHS Scotland to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic. This award has been approved for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority in line with Regulation 33(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. ### Procurement Information Due to this the necessary assurance, checks and balances with the citizen element it is critical to have the Supplier involved in leading on the development and consultancy on this, this award covers a range of effort from the Supplier which covers a diverse range of different skillsets. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027632-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Oct 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £609,050 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS") | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SERVICENOW | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 4 Nov 2021 at 08:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027632-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nss.nhs.scot/browse/procurement-and-logistics - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA11883 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
