Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed a tender process for the provision of Tildrakizumab (Ilumetri®), a pharmaceutical product primarily used within the healthcare sector. The procurement, classified under the CPV code 33600000 for pharmaceutical products, is valued at approximately £2,540,482, reflecting a framework agreement awarded without prior publication of a contract notice. This contract will primarily serve healthcare entities as defined under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, based in the UK, following the tender's initiation on 2nd March 2022. Notably, the procurement method was limited, and the awarded supply is intended to run for an initial period of twenty-four months, with an option for a further extension of the same duration.

This tender presents significant opportunities for pharmaceutical companies and suppliers adept at providing specialised healthcare products. With a specific focus on Tildrakizumab, businesses with capabilities in manufacturing, distributing, or innovating in pharmaceutical goods will find this a valuable avenue to increase market share within NHS Scotland. The exclusive nature of the award, safeguarding intellectual property rights, means that candidates must demonstrate a high level of compliance with regulatory requirements typical of the healthcare sector. Firms looking to enhance their engagements in public health procurement will benefit from the established relationship between the NSS and its suppliers, particularly given that only a limited number of operators can meet the necessary criteria for participation in this market segment.
