## Summary

The Scottish Social Services Council, located in Dundee, has conducted a selective procurement process for the award of a call-off contract related to Publishing, Print, Design & Associated Services.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in publishing, print, and design services to grow and secure a stable revenue stream through long-term engagements.
