Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the procurement process for the supply of immunosuppressant medicines, following an open procedure under the legal basis 32014L0024. The tender, titled "NP41125 Immunosuppressant Medicines," falls under the pharmaceutical products category and targets entities within NHS Scotland. Although initially planned as an unranked multi-supplier framework involving up to five participants, the contract has been awarded to seven suppliers. Located in Edinburgh, NHS NSS secured the agreement signed on 14 August 2025, valued at £3,437,024. This procurement process was initiated in the tender stage in May 2025, and has now reached completion with the framework being declared active.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale pharmaceutical businesses capable of providing immunosuppressant medicines, particularly those familiar with NHS operations and logistics. It encourages potential participants to deliver community benefits through NHS Scotland’s Community Benefits Gateway, thereby fostering regional growth and collaboration with third-sector community organisations. Companies that are well-prepared to engage with these benefits and possess robust logistics and pricing strategies will find a favourable environment for expansion through this multi-supplier framework.
