Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), awarding a framework agreement for the supply of Hereditary Angioedema Branded Medicines (Orladeyo). The industry category is pharmaceutical products, and the location for delivery is under the jurisdiction of NHS Scotland. This contract, valued at GBP 1,582,400, was signed on 4th April 2025. The framework agreement has a duration of 24 months, with a possible extension of an additional 24 months. The project is in the contract award stage, and the procurement method was limited, negotiated without prior publication, due to the protection of exclusive rights. BioCryst UK Ltd has been awarded as the sole supplier under this contract.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, especially those specialising in niche or patented medications. Enterprises capable of supplying unique or protected pharmaceutical products might find similar opportunities within NHS Scotland contracts rewarding. Since the framework has been awarded to a single supplier, such contracts are particularly suitable for large companies that can secure exclusive manufacturing or distribution rights for specific medications. Moreover, businesses with expertise in managing exclusive rights or intellectual property within the healthcare industry could leverage these tenders to enhance their market position and explore further collaborations with public entities like NHS Scotland.
