## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed a procurement process for Type II R Face Masks to support the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition due to the extreme urgency of the situation. This contract, valued at £47,300,000, was signed on 1 April 2020 and is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, under the health industry category.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those that can provide personal protective equipment, to engage in significant contracts with government agencies. Companies experienced in delivering health-related goods under urgent timelines, similar to Continuum, which was awarded the contract, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders. The evolving healthcare landscape, coupled with continuing demand for protective gear, underscores the potential for growth in this sector.
