ABOUT THE ORGANISATION:

National Services Scotland (NSS) is a national NHS Board operating right at the heart of NHSScotland providing invaluable support and advice at a strategic and operational level. NSS supports customers to deliver their services more efficiently and effectively and we offer shared services on a national scale using best-in-class systems and standards. Our priority is always the same – to improve the health and well-being of the people of Scotland. We do this by working in partnership with colleagues across Health and Social Care to deliver fit for purpose solutions and systems, delivering high quality services that help our stakeholders to free up resources so they can be re-invested into essential services.
National Procurement is a Directorate of NSS and operates across 4 sites in Scotland providing procurement, logistics and supply chain solutions for NHS Scotland and the wider public sector.
National Procurement also operates as one of the five Procurement Centers of Excellence across the entire Public Sector in Scotland, providing commercial and technical guidance, advice and expertise to the Health and Social Care sector, primarily to NHSS Hospital and community services.
National Procurement has been front and center of NHS Scotland’s response to the post pandemic recovery, working closely with our Health Boards, the Scottish Government, UK DHSC and other key agencies and strategic suppliers. As a result, our Category teams have been asked to take on wider responsibilities and for new areas of expenditure.
