## Summary

NHS Highland has issued a tender for the provision of Out of Hours Medical Support Services to the Nairn Town and County Community Hospital, located in Nairn, in the North Highlands.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those capable of providing emergency medical support or related services.
