## Summary

The procurement process involves a tender initiated by The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the supply of Type II ‘R’ Masks to meet the urgent demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The award procedure was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract has been awarded to Alpha Solway. The contract was signed on 20 July 2020, and has a total value of £2,200,000. The primary delivery location for the goods is Scotland, and this tender falls within the health industry category.
