Summary of the contracting process

The tender process for the supply of Tocilizumab Subcutaneous Injection (RoActemra®) has been initiated by NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and is classified under the pharmaceutical products industry. This procurement, valued at approximately £25,050,684, is currently complete and involved a limited procurement method, meaning no call for competition was published prior to the award. The item will be delivered primarily to various entities under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. This plan allows for an initial contract period of 24 months, with an option for a further extension of the same duration.

This contract presents significant opportunities for pharmaceutical companies, particularly those specialising in the production and distribution of healthcare products. Businesses with the capability to supply medicines within the NHS framework and those familiar with tendering for health-related products would be well-positioned to engage in similar contracts in the future. As the patent for Tocilizumab has recently expired, potential competitors should stay informed about market entry opportunities as they arise to capitalise on the evolving landscape of pharmaceutical supply within the UK.
