## Summary

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) has completed a procurement process for "Electronic Marking Services" located in Glasgow, UK. This procurement was initiated as a limited tender due to unforeseen challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, which required SQA to extend an existing contract for two years.
