This procurement falls under the health industry category and is located in Edinburgh, Scotland. The initiative is in its planning stage, with a deadline for questionnaire submissions set for Friday, 18th June 2021. The NSS seeks both off-the-shelf solutions and those requiring further development, and is engaging with suppliers to gather insights that will help shape their requirements for endoscopy pathways across various specialties. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in health technology, particularly those offering electronic reporting and image capture systems. Companies able to provide comprehensive solutions for endoscopy procedures, especially those with capabilities to adapt software for diverse medical settings, will find this tender particularly relevant. Suppliers interested in engaging with NHS Scotland's Digital Strategy or offering cloud-based systems may particularly benefit from participating in this procurement process. ## Notice NSS is coordinating the procurement of a solution capable of supporting the delivery of Endoscopy pathways. An "off the shelf" solution is sought; however, solutions that need further development to meet requirements may also be of interest. Three companies, currently provide the endoscopy reporting systems' software. Endoscopic procedures are carried out at 36 sites across Scotland incorporating 163 stacks which capture endoscopic images. Electronic reporting and image capture is required across specialities. This is a market testing exercise and the information gathered will allow NSS to determine their options. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NSS is coordinating the procurement of a solution capable of supporting the delivery of Endoscopy pathways.
