## Summary

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which has issued a tender titled "NSSCOVID-19 -336a National Vaccination Programme Support." This initiative is classified under the health sector and is located in Scotland. The procurement stage is complete, having used a limited method involving direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. Key dates include the award being signed on 16 October 2020, with the overall tender process concluding on 4 November 2021. The awarded contract, valued at £458,400, represents a critical service to meet urgent demands during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for suppliers with expertise in health service solutions and COVID-19 response initiatives. The successful supplier, DXC, has a strong background with the NSS and is a global partner in the implementation of ServiceNow technologies. Businesses that specialise in the development and consultancy of health service solutions or have experience with technology integration in healthcare settings would be especially well-suited to compete for similar future tenders.

## Notice

Resources required to support the National Vaccination programme. Given the associated tight timescales to deliver the solution, and the complexity of scheduling, and the need to offer this as a service to all citizens within Scotland, it has been necessary to have the supplier expertise in the development and consultancy of the solution.
