Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), involved the purchase of medical equipment titled "TCAT – Clinimacs Prodigy". This procurement, categorised under goods and specifically medical equipment (CPV code: 33100000), was aimed at enhancing the NHS services with advanced equipment. Located in the UKM region (United Kingdom), the procurement reached the award stage. The contract was awarded without prior publication, under a limited procedure, in line with Regulation 33, b (ii), due to technical exclusivity. The procurement process concluded with the award made to Adthera Bio Limited, as of 23 April 2025, for a contract value of £125,000.

This procurement creates significant business opportunities, particularly for entities involved in the medical equipment supply chain. Businesses experienced in manufacturing advanced medical devices that offer innovative solutions to healthcare challenges stand a good chance of competing in such tenders. The unique nature of this procurement, driven by the technical necessity and the lack of competition, highlights the importance of niche specialisation and a strong portfolio in relevant medical technologies. Suppliers with capabilities aligned with the specific requirements of organisations like NHS Scotland could find growth opportunities in similar direct award cases.
