## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland, awarded a contract for Type II R Face Masks to Continuum Scotland Ltd. The procurement was for medical consumables in response to the Covid-19 pandemic to meet demands in the Scottish Health and Social Care sector. The contract was directly awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, citing extreme urgency as the reason for the limited procurement method.
