## Summary

The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland, located in Edinburgh, conducted a procurement process for the provision of 500 licences for the Orca Cloud Security Product. This tender, with the title "NP883425 Orca Cloud Security", falls under the IT services industry category, specifically covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This procurement was managed under a limited procedure, whereby the contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, and was part of the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework. The contract status is complete with NHS National Services Scotland acting as the central purchasing body and the procurement process was covered by the GPA (Government Procurement Agreement).

This tender offers growth potential for businesses specializing in IT consulting and services, particularly those with strengths in cloud security products. Large companies similar in scale to the awarded supplier, Computacenter, would be particularly suitable for engaging in similar opportunities. The contract highlights potential pathways for businesses looking to partner with public health service entities, providing critical security software solutions. The procurement did not attract bids from SMEs, which suggests potential space for smaller firms to innovate and find niche opportunities in cloud security offerings within the public sector framework.
