## Summary

The procurement process entails a limited tender by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), for the provision of temporary agency Allied Health Professionals and other clinical professions. This contract serves all NHS Scotland Health Boards and related organisations, with an estimated value of £3,300,000. The award date was on July 4, 2022, and the tender has reached the completion stage as it is part of the ongoing response to demands within the Scottish Health and Social Care sector, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in health services, recruitment, and staffing solutions, particularly those focusing on allied health professions. Businesses that can provide temporary staffing solutions and those experienced in supporting healthcare delivery within the NHS would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The collaboration with NHS Scotland creates a stable market presence and potential for growth, especially for companies adapting to the evolving needs of the healthcare sector.
