## Summary

The procurement process concerns a tender titled "Software Reseller" initiated by The Common Services Agency (commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland). This procurement falls under the category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and support. The contract is situated in Scotland and is currently in the Award stage, with the award having been active since 21st March 2022.
