Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland) is conducting a procurement process for the supply of Bevacizumab IV Infusion Vials, classified under pharmaceutical products. This is an open procurement method aimed at health boards across NHS Scotland. The contract is active and has a total estimated value of £4,733,892, covering an initial duration of 12 months with the option to extend for an additional 24 months. The tender period concluded on 13th July 2021, with bids accepted electronically. Organisations in the healthcare sector, specifically those dealing in pharmaceutical supplies, should note that five suppliers were awarded the contract, including prominent names like Pfizer Ltd and Roche Products Ltd.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of pharmaceutical goods, especially those who can demonstrate compliance with industry regulations, such as having valid UK Marketing Authorisations and relevant quality certifications. Smaller companies or SMEs, like Thornton & Ross Ltd and Zentiva Pharma UK Ltd, are particularly well-positioned to compete in this framework, as two of the bids received were from SMEs. Companies that can provide a strong supply chain and competitive pricing could benefit greatly from engaging with the NHS sector, enhancing their profile and expanding their market reach.
