## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the extension of the contract for the NSSCOVID-19 - 255 Vaccination Platform Development, initiated by The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland) based in Edinburgh, Scotland. This procurement, classified under the health industry, falls under the award stage and was completed on 1st October 2021. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication, necessitated by extreme urgency due to unforeseen circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in IT solutions, health service delivery, and vaccination management systems. Companies with experience in developing healthcare software or managing public health initiatives would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts in the future, given the ongoing demands resulting from the pandemic. With a contract value of £155,580, this project illustrates the potential for robust business growth in the public health sector as governments continue to adapt to the challenges presented by COVID-19.

## Notice

NSS was commissioned by Scottish Government to deliver the vaccination solution for citizens in Scotland to be able to view appointments, schedule & reschedule appointments. Other elements of the solution will support case management for contact centre agents, inventory management and reporting across the scheduling components and inventory. In November 2020 NSS on behalf of Scottish Government were commissioned to build and implement a National Vaccination Scheduling System (NVSS) for Covid-19 Vaccinations. Following the successful rollout and implementation, the NVSS system was further enhanced to provide scheduling, and a new booking engine for winter flu and Covid-19 booster vaccinations, to enable citizens to self-book book appointments. Due to the very challenging timescales for delivery, NSS do not have the resources in-house to meet the demand and therefore we require extension to the current contract to meet the agreed timescales.
