## Summary

The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland) based in Edinburgh, UK, has recently awarded the West Regional Hub - Amplitude Maintenance Contract to Thermo Fisher Scientific. The procurement process reached the "Award" stage after a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at GBP 933,171.84, was signed on December 19, 2022, for the full service, maintenance, and ongoing technical support of Covid-19 testing platforms in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's West Regional Testing Hub.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specializing in large-scale service maintenance contracts, particularly in the healthcare industry. Given the specialised nature of the contract that requires technical expertise from the original equipment manufacturer, businesses with relevant experience and capabilities in providing such services to the healthcare sector would be well-suited to compete. Understanding the unique requirements of public health testing platforms and demonstrating a track record of delivering high-quality service maintenance will be crucial for interested firms looking to leverage this opportunity for business growth.
