## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has undertaken a limited tender for the "Practitioner Database for Lawyers." The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with a total contract value of £287,830. The contract for this specialist service was signed on 3rd September 2018. The provision is intended for procurement in the health sector, specifically under the legal materials category, and the service will be delivered in the Edinburgh region.

This opportunity is ideal for large-scale providers of legal databases and resources, particularly those who can offer cloud-based solutions tailored for law firms.
