## Summary

The procurement process involves NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, which is executing a tender titled "Digital Pathology Framework Extension." This initiative is part of the health industry and is set in Glasgow, UK. The current procurement stage is at the award phase, with a contract value of £8,700,000 signed on 9th September 2021. The contract will be extended until 31st January 2022 under specific modifications justified under Regulation 72. The procurement method employed is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in digital pathology and health IT solutions. Service providers capable of implementing and supporting systems for digitisation and review of histopathology slides would be particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, companies that can offer innovative software functionalities and scanning hardware, alongside training programmes, may find this to be an attractive market, especially given that the framework could potentially be rolled out across multiple health boards in Scotland following a successful pilot phase.
