## Summary

The procurement process concerns a contract awarded by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the role of Digital Office Programme Improvement Manager. This service falls under the health industry category and is based in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method was limited, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £207,280, was signed on 10th October 2019, with the provision expected to last until April 2020. This tender was initiated due to a critical need for the service after no suitable candidates were found through standard competition processes.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in health services, digital transformation, or management consultancy. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in delivering similar projects would be particularly well-suited to compete or collaborate in future tenders for NHS contracts. Given the nature of the contract, firms focusing on digital office improvements and project management within the health sector may find avenues for business growth by engaging with NSS and similar public sector organisations in Scotland.
