This initiative is categorised under the health industry and takes place in Scotland. The procurement method is classified as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and the extension is for a period of seven months, concluding on 31 January 2023. This procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract signed on 28 February 2022. Key contact for this process is Billy Hislop, available at billy.hislop@nhs.scot. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, as the framework facilitates access to vital software solutions and related services for public sector organisations in Scotland. Companies with experience in providing software resale services or value-added benefits could significantly benefit from competing in this process. With the impending re-procurement exercise, there will likely be additional opportunities for new suppliers to enter the market, ensuring continuity in service delivery for Scottish public and third sector entities. ## Notice Extension of Software Reseller framework for a period of 7 months using Regulation 72(1)(c).
