## Summary

The procurement process for the Managed Taxi Service on behalf of NHS Shetland was initiated by NHS Shetland, a health organization based in Lerwick, UK. The tender, entitled "Managed Taxi Service on behalf of NHS Shetland", falls under the services category and was procured through a limited procurement method without prior publication. The procurement stage is complete with the contract valued at 450,000 GBP.
