## Summary

The Common Services Agency, commonly referred to as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed a tender process for the procurement of ultra-low temperature equipment essential for vaccine storage, identified as NSSCOVID-19 -268. This procurement, which falls under the health category, took place specifically in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, driven by the urgent demands of the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at £125,000, was signed on 19 November 2020, and it was noted that three bids were received for this award.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health equipment sector, particularly those involved in the manufacturing and supply of medical storage solutions. Enterprises with experience in providing healthcare-related goods, especially in response to urgent public health needs, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Given the context surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses equipped to deliver quickly and efficiently will find themselves in an advantageous position in forthcoming tender opportunities.
