Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being undertaken by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), based in Edinburgh. The process involves the supply of Ixekizumab, a pharmaceutical product, for new patients treated under NHS Scotland as described in the contract titled "CA02825 Ixekizumab (Taltz®)." This procurement falls under the pharmaceutical products category and is set within the region of UKM. The process stage is currently in the "Award" stage, with key dates indicating that the contract was signed on 28th April 2025, and the notice date was recorded as 30th April 2025. The procurement method adopted was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the protection of exclusive rights, thereby forming a framework agreement with a single supplier.

This tender offers robust opportunities for businesses with capabilities and interests in the pharmaceuticals sector, particularly ones that are experienced in working with public health services. While the contract was awarded to Eli Lilly and Company, the nature of this agreement underscores the potential for businesses with exclusive capabilities or intellectual property rights in pharmaceuticals to engage in future similar tenders. Large-scale pharmaceutical organisations or specialised operators with exclusive products and the ability to navigate unique procurement requirements in a healthcare context are ideally positioned to compete in this market space.
