Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the supply of Glatiramer Acetate Injection, focusing on both the 20mg and 40mg presentations, managed by The Common Services Agency (NHS National Services Scotland). The procurement falls under the pharmaceutical products category and is classified as a limited procedure, operating without a prior call for competition. As of 4th July 2022, two contracts have been awarded for a total estimated value of £500,243, with deliveries intended for hospitals and designated addresses throughout the NHS in Scotland. The current procurement stage is complete, and the relevant delivery locations include various National Health Service entities across the UK.

This tender offers significant opportunities for pharmaceutical suppliers, particularly those that can provide Glatiramer Acetate Injection and related home delivery services. Businesses focused on pharmaceuticals, especially those experienced in delivering healthcare products directly to hospitals or patients, will be well-positioned to compete for these contracts. Given the active status of contracts with noted suppliers such as Mylan and Teva UK Limited, new entrants with innovative delivery solutions or competitive pricing may find a niche in this expanding market within the Scottish health sector.
