## Summary

The procurement process involves the Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which is located at Gyle Square, Edinburgh. The tender, titled "Fresh Milk & Cream Products," is aimed at providing a variety of fresh milk and cream products within the health sector. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to health, and is currently at the award stage. The contract was signed on 1st June 2022, with an estimated contract value of £1.7 million, and it is noted that this framework may operate until September 2023, following a necessary extension due to impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic.
