## Summary

The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland) has completed a public procurement process for the NSSCOVID-19 -227A Amplitude Fully Automated Platform, aimed at supplying testing kits necessary for the health sector. The procurement was initiated through a limited method, without prior publication, due to the urgent demands arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, awarded on 12 October 2020, is valued at £5,010,480. The procurement falls under the goods category and operates within the healthcare industry, based in Edinburgh, UK.

This procurement process provides a significant opportunity for suppliers within the healthcare sector, particularly those that offer testing equipment and related products. Businesses equipped to meet stringent quality and pricing criteria, such as established firms and specialised healthcare providers, would be well-positioned to engage in similar future tenders or contracts. Engaging with the Scottish health and social care systems can facilitate growth and expand market reach for companies looking to strengthen their presence in public sector healthcare procurement.
