Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland) has awarded a contract for albumin products under the Framework Agreement. This procurement falls under the goods category, with a duration of 26 months initially and a subsequent 22-month extension. The contracting process began with a tender and reached the award stage on 12th January 2023. The procurement is relevant to businesses supplying blood products and plasma extracts, particularly for entities within NHS Scotland.
